Franklin started in the summer of 1992 and broke up in 1999. Being around that long provided us a lot of opportunities to play at nearly all of the venues available to bands at that time in Philadelphia. If shows could happen there, we probably played there.
After the incredible presence that the Cabbage Collective was for bands in the early 90’s, a completely DIY show collective that held events primarily in the basement of a church located at 40th and Baltimore in West Philadelphia, a kid named Sean Agnew started booking shows. When I first met Sean, he was this scrawny kid from Ardmore with a chin strap beard who booked a lot of ska shows. The Cabbage Collective had moved it’s primary residence from West Philly to the First Unitarian Church located at 21st and Chestnut. Having worked with the Cabbage Collective for so long, I think we were a little hesitant to play shows booked by a kid we didn’t know using the same space as the Cabbage kids. It seemed like a conflict of interest. It’s funny how even then, cliques always played a part of the music community.

Lucky for us, we did play Sean’s shows and his R5 Productions (coined after the same regional rail line that most of us in the band grew up on) took what the Cabbage Collective had started and grew it into something extraordinary. To this day I’m still amazed and inspired by what R5 and the dedicated kids who have helped throughout the years have accomplished.
We played dozens of R5 shows throughout our existence. This photo was taken at the First Unitarian when we were playing a show with The Promise Ring. Sadly, I don’t remember the date of the show, nor do I know the photographer.
It’s a pretty badass photo tho.
