1994 - Frank Black - McCabe's Music Store


Frank Black at McCabe's in Santa Monica on May 27, 1994

Ron will have much more to say about this show. But, we missed very few Frank Black shows.
I remember McCabe's as being tiny and such an interesting place. Full of instruments and serious music people. This show was in a small stage in the back of the shop. Any of you who know Ron know about his crush on Winona Ryder. Well, guess who sat directly in front of us? Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow and Gwyneth's brother. I don't remember much of the show but I spent most of the show watching them! I kept elbowing Ron to make his move, he had his chance! Fun show in an interesting venue. First Frank plays a solo set, then is joined by his band (Eric bass, Nick drums, Lyle guitar). right around the time Teenager was released. Frank talks about the songs a lot and does my all time favorite rock star move, holding the pick up in front of him and talking.
