Bon Jovi will be tearing the lid off Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in just three days. I am pleased to tell you that hometown rockers Frankie Whyte and the Dead Idols will be fueling the crowd up Tuesday night with their unique blend of 80’s metal and modern day rock’n’roll. It’s no accident they sound and look this way, their sound and look is something that melds together perfectly. The members of FWDI, Frankie, Danny, Monti and Steve obviously put a lot of time into their music.
Frankie Whyte and the Dead Idols burst onto the scene in 2008 and are on of the hardest working bands going. They are no strangers to the big stage. FWDI did 4 nights with KISS across Canada in ’09 and have shared the stage with other acts such as LA Guns, Faster Pussycat, Thornley, My Darkest Days, Econoline Crush and many more.
The band released their first ep ‘Hollywood Ending’ in June of ’09 which was produced by Duncan Coutts, the bassist for legendary Canadian band Our Lady Peace. They currently are working on a full length record with producer Brian Moncarz (Silverstien, Moneen). There is no set release date as of yet, however a sample, Keep Walkin' (see below) has been released as a free download for fans and friends on the bands site.
Frankie and the band along with her have spent most of the year writing songs, picked up cool festival dates and shows along the way, but focused primarily on writing and recording. While this keeps the band busy, they still make time for and are always accessible to their fans.
Frankie Whyte and the Dead Idols are a high energy good time rock’n’roll band that makes them a perfect fit for Bon Jovi Tuesday night. Fans and soon to be fans will not be disappointed by either band. If Bon Jovi is your favourite band in the world FWDI are going to be the cherry on top.
Cheers Rockers,
