Ep 3: Frente! with Angie Hart and Pop! with Amy Flower
Listen now
Description
In the early '90s, indie pop band Frente! enjoyed a meteoric rise in Australia, going from the Triple J Hottest 100 to regulars in the top 5 of the ARIA chart in just a couple of releases. In this episode, we hear from singer Angie Hart about the band's early success and the backlash they suffered following the release of "Accidently Kelly Street", which was brutally parodied by The Late Show. This episode also covers a different — but linked — music industry story. In 1995, Angie provided vocals for a track called "Tingly" by Pop! But despite rave reviews and support from a variety of FM radio networks, it wasn't the hit it should have been. Now, as Angie has reunited with Pop! for new single "Waiting", she and Amy Flower explain what happened with "Tingly". We'll also hear about Frente's acoustic cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle" and less commercially successful second album, Shape, and eventual split.
