Could it really be twenty five years since Simon Austin and Angie Hart formed Frente?
In their absence, it seems that respect and kudos have grown. New generations discover them for the first time, peers take another nostalgic listen to songs that they fell in love with, broke up to, and started over with. Frente continue to mean something to many.
Sitting at 21 years between the Australian and US releases of Marvin , 2014 seems like a most fitting year to revisit Marvin. Across 2 discs (fully remastered by Bob Ludwig in Los Angeles), ‘Marvin’ disc one features the Australian version of ‘Marvin’ with the addition of the three US bonus tracks added after the original sequence. The second disc features the long-out-of-print ‘Whirled’ and ‘Clunk’ EPs, again fully remastered, as well as a handful of rare-as-hen’s teeth bonus tracks from the ‘Marvin’ era.
In celebration of ‘Marvin’, Frente will embark on “Marvin The Album, 21st Anniversary Tour”, their first full national headline tour since 1997. Visiting Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth and making regional visits to Castlemaine and Lismore, Frente will perform ‘Marvin’ from beginning to end, as it appears on the original Aussie CD, followed by the US cuts and many long standing fan favourites.
