!FRANKLIN / FRACTURE SHOW PROPAGANDA

| Brian

Here’s a total surprise.

I’m not sure why, but for one or two shows, Franklin and Fracture thought it would be productive and valuable to furthering our agenda to create, print and distribute propaganda fliers at our shows. Each band created double-sided hand-outs that seemed to introduce folks to our methodology.

Men suffer from impotence problem due to levitra cost their age and they can’t maintain the toughness of their penis.

Not surprising, Fracture’s is more adorable and and Franklin’s is more ridiculous. The art on the Fracture flier was done by Mark Scott and the writing on the Franklin insert was done by Greg Giuliano.

P.S – This might be the only time !Franklin went on record as describing where our band name came from.

P.S.S. – I have a feeling revisiting this Fracture insert will inspire Jeb for some additional commenting.

SOME OLD FLYERS AND RANDOM PHOTOS

| Brian

Dug up some oldies…this flyer was for a show at the thunderous 508 House in Tom’s River, NJ. This was the final show of the Fracture/Franklin summer tour of 1995. That’s actually a picture of me singing for Astir-Few on the flyer.

These two photos of Franklin playing a Cabbage Collective Show at the church at 48th & Baltimore appeared in a zine that I no longer have. Looks like I just kept the photos. The ego, I tell ya.

From what I can recall, these photos were taken from a show we played with Hoover and Hose.Got.Cable but I can’t be sure.

These two photos were taken in a basement outside of Baltimore, MD. in the fall of 1996. Franklin went on a 2 month US tour taking Atom and Schumow with us. Fracture had disbanded, so Atom had been spending time learning how to use sequencers and 4-tracks to record his own music. Atom booked the tour for us so we wanted him to also play some of his songs before we played on the tour. So, at each show, he’d perform 3 or 4 songs.

This was the start of Atom & His Package and this show here in this basement, I believe, was Atom’s first, actual performance as Atom & His Package.

Another flyer I found of a show that was held out in the Philadelphia suburbs. While we didn’t play the show that’s me playing guitar in Franklin on the flyer.

!FRANKLIN GOES TO THE PROM

| Brian

I’m spending a couple hours this evening scanning in random odds and ends. While I was going through a large file I found this photograph. This might be one of the first photos taken of !Franklin. We had only started the band in the spring of 1992 but by May, we were all attending Stavroula’s Senior Prom.

This photo was taken at our good friend Olivia’s house as we prepared to head to the ball. I believe we hoped to use this photo on a future record if anyone ever asked us to do one, but by the end of the summer Sula would leave the band and thus this photo went into the vault.

I think Ralph has been asking me to give him this photo back for some time. I told you it was safe, Ralph!

FRACTURE/FRANKLIN 1994 TOUR DIARY!

| Brian

Thanks to Roy for digging this gem up! I present to you, Atom Goren’s tour diary of the first Fracture/Franklin US tour with a nice intro from Atom himself, now 36 years old…

Here it is…. sorry for the large censored portions. I am a scaredy cat. While there is a little embarrassment reading some of the stuff from the 19 year old version of me, it’s certainly fun to fill in the cracks in my memory from a wonderful time with awesome people. I know I have pictures that accompany so many of the entries somewhere… like the one with Jeb and the Indianapolis next door neighbors’ kids… Ralph and the limousine driver in Ohio, us at the salt flats in Utah…. just not sure exactly where they are right now.

It’s particularly cool to see the birth of Roy’s love for the dragon tattoo that he ended up getting, documented. If anyone is interested, I can email the uncensored version, though the uncensored version basically is the same, but includes a lot of references to things like going to the bathroom, which a self-respecting (and employed) teacher doesn’t do.

FRANKLIN – ROY IS DEAD 7″

| Brian

By the end of the summer 1995, Franklin and Fracture had completed our second US tour. However, the tour of 1995 included destinations north in the great white hope that is, CANADA!

We snuck across the border using forged documents that claimed our bands were visiting the country to record music (a very common practice in those days). Which to the Canadian Mounted Police meant, we were Americans entering the country to spend money. Without these documents, bands were forced to pay taxes on the meager earnings they made and in many instances, were simply denied access into the country entirely.

While in Canada, we met a fella named Yannick Lorraine. He ran a record label called The Great Steak Religion. I never asked Yannick why his label was called this, but he was an awesome French Canadian and his label, at the time, was putting out some pretty wild stuff. Primarily, he was focused on serious grinding music…music that offered complete brutality like Shotmaker or One Eyed God Prophecy and the like, but for some reason, he dug on Franklin and he asked us to record a 7″ for him. While this seemed odd at the time considering the bands he was known for releasing, we jumped at the chance for two reasons.

1. He wanted to put out a recording of our band. Good enough reason.

2. Yannick’s label was known for having some really beautifully designed album covers. Again, considering this was before the internet age had taken hold and home computers could do little more than play Pong, it was reason in of itself.

Thus, we were 100% down to record for Yannick. We headed back to Baltimore once again to record with Charles Jamison and we knocked out three songs. It’s interesting to note that I started this blog off with a song from this recording entitled, The Nuda. For more details about this song and what I consider to be it’s importance in Franklin’s history (if you care!) jump yonder.

As I’ve said before, I always preferred Franklin on 7″ rather than album. It seems like we had more focus when we were working within a limited scope. This 7″ was a key moment for us as a band. Not only because of the stylistic changes that were clearly happening, but more so because our beloved Roy Binnion was leaving the band. Roy had decided to make some changes in his life and to our sorrow, leaving the band was one of those changes. We named the 7″, Roy Is Dead in honor of his leaving. Also because we thought it would be funny to recreate our own version of the Beatles, Paul is dead thing. So for the cover of the seven inch, we turned Roy’s back to the camera for his portrait, colored his image blood red and included lots of odd death references. It was a lark.

However, we were startled to find that within months (remember, this was before email!) letters would start arriving from folks who had seen or heard the record asking if our bass player Roy had truly died.

Not exactly what we were expecting, but our darker sensibilities loved the confusion and so, from time to time, we would indulge certain inquiries explaining that yes, in fact, Roy had died.

The Roy Is Dead 7″ was released with only the songs The Nuda and The Didelpho. No markings on the 7″ cover of song titles, nor labels on the 7″ indicating side a or side b. I suppose that might have been a little annoying, but we liked it.

For the first time however, I’ve dug up the third song we recorded during this session. A song called The Baptisto. We played it many, many times live but never released the song in any official capacity. So, hope you enjoy it!
