Thanks to everyone who came to out the Rock for the Whisper V concert and helped raise over $1,000 for ovarian cancer research.
Special thanks goes to Pat Keenan of the Phenoms who arranged the show!

A few months back Frankie recorded some tasty guitar and drums at Wellington Manor with Kevin Tabisz at the helm for Dave Elliott's
soundtrack for the video game "Crazy Eights". Gamers keep your eyes and ears peeled for this.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
In the glory days of Frederick's Music Lounge, a few rock bands from other cities found a home there.
One such outfit, The Safes, traveled down from Chicago frequently to bring their catchy-as-all-get-out
garage rock to an audience that grew to love it. The Safes are three brothers (out of a family with 11 kids)
who have loved great music of all kinds since they were kids. Frankie, Michael and Patrick O'Malley
all play instruments, and they all write songs. Whether delivering a power-pop gem,
a dark and heavy rocker or an ecstatic three-chord, garage-style treat,
the Safes tend to surprise.

Riverfront Times
The Safes groove a familiar sound that is wholly unoriginal but entirely excellent, by nodding to Brit-garage, Mod and all kinds of power pop.
(Think early Kinks spliced with any bubbly Superchunk tune.) The Chicago trio's 2007 release Well, Well, Well earned the brothers O'Malley
— and they're real brothers, not "band brothers" à la the Ramones — plenty of positive attention from tastemakers like Pitchfork.
Some of The Safes' studio detail is lost in translation live; the blasting rock elements overpower the music's pop intricacies.
But its show always brings a welcome punch of rock & roll fun — and a chance to shake your tail feather.

Last Days of Man on Earth
Hey the Safes are coming back to Saint Louis on April 5th. If you don’t remember the Safes, they are one of my favorite acts around today in the
midwest. I did a big writeup on them here. They put on a crazy live show. Apparently they are releaseing an EP this summer that is as of yet
untitled. The Safes are playing at a local club here called The Bluebird, with one of the best bands from Saint Louis as well.
They are called The 75s and they are kind of a combination of K Records style indie-grrl pop, punk rock and post-punk.
They describe themselves as “punk for the brokenhearted” and I am definitely down with that right now.
I played with them at my last Left Arm show and was completely impressed.
-Joe Stumble
