About The Frail

San Francisco duo The Frail prides itself on the unique nature of its inception. Daniel Lannon and Kevin Durr started e-mailing each other about music, life and the pursuit of dreams.  Before long they were e-mailing each other their original music, listening, critiquing, and sharing their mutual passion for music. They realized they had several common bonds, including their both being influenced by The Faint and Thom Yorke. It was as if they had grown up in the same hometown, played in bands all through high school and college and now were on route to international stardom after years of trials and tribulations and hundreds of gigs at the local clubs. Not the case. In fact, The Frail is virtually brand new. Formed in early 2007, they became a team and have been working non-stop to make up for lost time. The Frail creates sensual, vulnerable and provocative electronic pop music that has the potential to appeal to many generations. With vocalist Lannon's (former lead singer of The Faraday Effect) smooth, stylishly sincere, warm falsetto vocals, and the co-writing, guitar and production efforts of Durr, this duo has the potential to be what the Eurythmics were to the eighties.

Their debut four song EP Count On This, has been extremely well received since its release in May of 2007. The featured track Count on This has made it to the top of Live 105's sound check radio charts, and the tune went to #12 on 88.3 The Jam in the Philippines (charting higher than Avril Lavigne and Green Day). They also received the prestigious viewer's choice award sponsored by Red Bull for Owl Magazine's, Video Makes The Radio Star contest. 

For more than two years, The Frail has been determined to spread their music to new audiences through the internet as well as through live performances.  They have been a favorite at top San Francisco hubs like Bottom of the Hill, The Independent, 330 Ritch, The Rickshaw Stop, Club Vessel and 1015 Folsom. They are all about big shows and big audiences. Mixing programmed samples and visuals with the band's live on-stage performance, they are able to play the intricately produced and layered recordings on stage and feel they are not leaving anything out.

The Frail have shared the stage with international bands such as Justice, Goldfrapp, Hot Chip, The DoDo's, The Foals, Sugarcult, Scissors For Lefty, Hollywood Undead, The Teenagers, and TV On The Radio.  They are also inviting re-mixers such as After Midnight and The Toxic Avenger to begin interpreting their songs from their new EP release, titled The Firefly.
