Frnkiero To Play Free Shows To Make Up For Soundwave

Former My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero (Frnkiero) will come to Australia to perform free shows in Sydney and Melbourne as compensation for the collapse of Soundwave.

In a statement Frnkiero writes, “Dear Australian friends, I’m so sorry soundwave 2016 got cancelled. I know you must be super bummed, but believe me, the feeling is mutual! I was really looking forward to getting to play for you all. I mean hell I love Australia… in fact I love it so much I thought fuck it, I’m coming anyway! So I’m bringing my brother Evan, and a couple of guitars and we’re gonna play some songs for you and sign some records and hang out for a few days in whatever places that will let us … because we don’t need a festival ground to make a memory. see you soon.” Xofrnk

Frnkiero released his debut solo album ‘Stomachaches’ in 2014 following the break-up of My Chemical Romance in March 2013. He plays all instruments on the record except for drums from MCR drummer Jarrod Alexander.
