So when Frente! was touring the US behind their hit in the '90s, I hung out with them when they played the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS, because I knew Simon, the guitar player, from an online community. Before Soundcheck, their road manager David shouts, hey it's my picture! And it was. The place has hundreds of band photos on the walls. He'd been the lead singer for Royal Crescent Mob.
