You can't miss Andy Frasco.The electric-shock hair. The megawatt charisma. The party-starting songs. When the Californian bandleader and his band, the U.N. take the stage, the adrenalin-shot is guaranteed. Fusfoo.com once wrote: "Andy Frasco is working hard to bring happiness to anyone who's willing to accept it."  So make sure you catch them at one of their Happy Bastard - shows in Germany or the Netherlands this month!

"Hello, powerful vocals! You’re about to hear some of the best gritty, yet smooth voices, blended with rock ballads, blues, and a heavy dose of face-melting instrument playing powered by a bad-ass rhythm section." This is how Brenda Hillegas/Elmore Magazine announces the new record of Jane Lee Hooker. Elmore Magazine is streaming the full album exclusively now!
