LATEST RELEASES

They'll Be Waking Up Soon
(2010 Main Man Records)
You wanted it... you got it: a second collection of covers (a sort of follow-up to 2005's America's Hit Remakers). Songs made famous by Cheap Trick, The Clash, Wings, The Cars, Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Blue Öyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Big Star, Graham Parker, Fear, Generation X, The Ramones, Iggy Pop, The Professionals, Redd Kross, Hüsker Dü, Supergrass, Buddy Holly, Naked Brothers and MC5 have all been given the Frankenstein 3000 treatment.

Keith, Clint, Eric and Tommy all take lead vocals on this one, a first for the band.

We squeezed as much music as the manufacturer would allow. 27 songs in 79:54. Maximum capacity... maximum rock 'n' roll.

Horse Feathers & Animal Crackers
A Tribute To Queen
(2010 Main Man Records)
How lucky are we that we get to record our favorite bands' songs? And Queen? One of the all-time best. There were so many submissions that the tribute ended up being two discs. Other great artists include Derwood Andrews (from Generation X, who did "Bohemain Rhapsody" as ony he could), Cheetah Chrome (from The Dead Boys doing "Tie Your Mother Down" and again, what an awesome version), Dennis Dunaway (from the original Alice Cooper group with a band from Iceland did "We Will Rock You"), our friends Shawn Mars, Bad Biscut, The Easy Outs, Jack Brag, AB & The Gin House Bandits and many more.

"Tenement Funster" was our first choice. It was written by Roger Taylor (the drummer) and we were really surprised to see how many of his songs people picked to cover. Our recording of "Sheer Heart Attack" which originally appeared on America's Hit Remakers is also included.

Here is a favorable review that mentions us a few times.

New Tales To Tell
A Tribute To Love And Rockets
(2009 Justice Records)
In July 0f 2009 Frankenstein 3000 joined Puscifer (Maynard from Tool), Frank Black (from The Pixies), Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols and tons more to pay tribute to one of the most respected alternative bands of all time, Love And Rockets.

Our version of "No Big Deal" has gotten airplay across the country and continues to be one of the biggest sellers from the compilation at iTunes.

Digital copies of New Tales To Tell are available at most online outlets, and CDs are sold at Amazon, Best Buy and most brick & mortar CD stores.

Where Do We Go From Here?
(2009 Main Man Records)
Our second all-original album (and third overall) was released in May of 2009. Songs like "Getaway" and "Mind Over Matter" show a different side to the band while maintaining our skewed view of songwriting.

"If you love hard rocking music with a punk edge, original lyrics and song themes, and bands with loads of attitude, then do yourself a favor and check this band out..." - Classic Rock Revisted

JUNE 2010 UPDATE

A very busy May is now behind us as we take a break until July when we join our old friends Sylvain Sylvain (The New York Dolls) and Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys) and their new band, Batusis, at the Brighton Bar.

The Frankenstein monster:
Bits. Pieces. The very definition of the whole being the sum of its parts.

When Keith Roth envisioned fronting his own band after the rise and fall of his former band, Bad Biscut, he saw it almost as giving life to that which had become dormant: “As far as I was concerned, rock ‘n’ roll had been on life support since ‘79, and I wasn’t ready to pull the plug just yet. There was still something in there.” This new band would be a combination of his best friends and the best musicians he could find. Keith, an accomplished bass player, saw this project as a new beginning; a new opportunity to create what he’d always dreamed of: the perfect living, breathing rock ‘n’ roll machine, fueled by 70’s Punk & Glam, the British Invasion, 60’s Nuggets, the Detroit Revolution and Blaxploitation films. For Frankenstein 3000, he took over guitar and vocal duties and sparked life into the creature with a dozen new songs and the ambition to achieve what his former band had come so close to, but failed to do: conquer the world.

At first, Frankenstein 3000 was a revolving door project, with numerous NY/NJ metro area musicians passing through the ranks, but it wasn't until the current incarnation was solidified that Keith truly felt like he'd finally realized his vision.
