Frank Lenz "Holy Rollers :Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" is out on 3/20. Read about it . . . . .
It's hard to know where to start a Frank Lenz bio. He's played in a lot bands : The Weepies, Everest,
The Headphones, Richard Swift, Alexi Murdoch, Pedro The Lion, Lassie Foundation, Starflyer 59, and
plenty of others he might not want you to know about! He's has also helped many bands achieve their
musical zenith in the studio. He's produced and recorded a lot of bands. Recently, he's been doing
music for film and commercials. A few yars ago he did the entire soundtrack for the film Strictly
Background. Now he's at it again. He wrote and recorded the entire soundtrack for the upcoming film
Holy Rollers.
The soundtrack is a mix of soft / yacht rock, brushed drums, sparse piano and electronic lines, and then
there's some super upbeat 'get dancing' kind of tracks too. It's mostly instrumentals w/ a few beautiful
vocal melodies ala Frank's warbly, yet loveable delivery.
The film is almost . . . as odd as Mr. Lenz. It's a documentary on "The True Story of Card Counting
Christians". Basically there is a team of card counting black jack players who have large bank rolls and
win money from casinos, which they then turn over to their church. Moral confilcts and issues of trust ensue.
The film has been to a swarm of festivals and won a bunch of awards. It has recently been featured in New York
Times, CNN, NPR, The Colbert Report, This American Life, etc. It will be officially released on 3/06 via Warner Bros., and the soundtrack will be close behind with a release date of 3/20.
Give "Holy Rollers" a listen and try to find out what Frank Lenz is : a musician, a dreamer, a stoner, a lover
of life, a maker of music. He's been on extravagant tour buses, and in cramped mini vans on tour ; he's
recorded in the nicest studios, and constructed whole pocket symphonies in his apartment; he's had plenty
of $100 meals, and he's been truly homeless. He's one of the most interesting people you could meet, and
his work sounds just like . . . . Frank Lenz.
