Hey Mike, can you give some details about FRANKLY, SCARLETT... demos and history ?
When Teacher's Pett Broke up in 1991, me and the other Guitarist Paul, decided to start a new band.
This was during the time when the Seattle Music scene became very big
(Soundgarden Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Peal Jam). Real Metal in Seattle became very unpopular during this time.
We tried to have a sound maybe Less Metal at the time when we started Frankly Scarlett.
The Singer in Frankly Scarlett knew Kurdt Vanderhoof From Metal Church pretty well, so we recorded and wrote in his Studio outside of Seattle around 1992 - 1993.
Kurdt also Played on a number of the songs.
We actually received some serious interest from a number of major record lables.
Flew to Los Angeles and showcased for a few, but never got signed.
We recorded maybe 15 or so songs but never officially released anything.
We broke up in late 1993.
I did get to meet and know a few of the other Guys in Metal Church as a result which was pretty cool.
And we even got to open up for Metal Church at a small unanounced show.
After that, I then joined this band which was a bit more back to the Power Metal sound (Villan)
