ROMA AMOR (IT) // FRENK LEBEL (AT)

Roma Amor is a neofolk / dark cabaret band from Italy. Somewhere between the melodic folk-inflected charm of the 1960s Italian songwriters and the cabaret swoon of French chansonniers, Roma Amor’s music is instinctively romantic and sophisticated, and can be described as chanson noir or folk cabaret.

Frenk Lebel reached cult-status as one half of theflamboyant pop duo Play The Tracks Of. David Fricke, editor of US Rolling Stone magazine, listed their album, „Beauty Case“ as his favorite pop album of the year 1996. In 1998 Frenk attended a songwriting class held by nobody less but Nick Cave, who acclaimed the „cohenesque quality“ of Frenk‘s lyrics. In addition to his activities as a writer and performer, Frenk Lebel is a dedicated facilitator of songwriting and creativity classes. He also performs as Brennholz Rocks for children and writes music for other artists.
