Frenchy and the Punk
Through their unmistakable blend of influences ranging from post-punk & dark folk to new wave & goth, Frenchy and the Punk have forged their own distinct path since 2005, touring across the US and Europe with their artful two-person powerhouse of sound.
Drawing inspiration from post-punk legends like The Cure, the upbeat energy and percussive textures of Adam and the Ants, the bewitching mystique of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the quirky charm of The B-52's, they have crafted a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly authentic delivered in an unorthodox way.
The pair is proof positive that opposites really do attract. The duo consists of French-born singer/percussionist & former ballet dancer Samantha Stephenson with her sultry yet powerful voice, often likened to iconic legends Siouxsie Sioux and Johnette Napolitano and her American-born partner and former hardcore punk bassist Scott Helland with his melodic electro/acoustic guitar stylings & looping mastery.

Scott has a new solo album with his project Guitarmy of One ready and he's running a kickstarter campaign to fund it. Lots of Frenchy and the Punk fans are also fans of his Spy Surf Instrumentals, so check it out and support it if you can. www.kickstarter.com/projects/scotthelland/new-guit… Rewards include flash drives, CDs, Tshirts, Vinyl of his punk band and more! It's another awesome collection of songs inspired by his love of Surf music, Spy movies and TV series and of course Punk Rock! Thanks for your support!

We are back in New York! Amazing Spring and Summer tour in the UK and US. Now we focus on what's next and the first thing right now (as tours are not cheap!) is a massive sale on our current Tea Towel designs! We have decided to discontinue these and are offering them at 40% off for the month of August. Check them out and get yourself a gift of original art from this Frenchy and that Punk, or get an early start on your holiday shopping!
Check them out on our store website and grab some before they all disappear. No coupon code necessary, the sale price is already on there. Tea Towels/Wall Hanging and we also have a few of the Large Banner sized ones left and they are also at 40% off.

Hello All!
We hope you had a chance to see the second music video off of Midnight Garden for the track Like In A Dream. The album itself has been released since and we're getting fantastic feedback!
We wanted to let you know that we have a Bandcamp Listening Party happening TONIGHT (Wed July 3rd). IT's a relatively new feature on Bandcamp. Here's how it will go...
6:30pm - The listening party opens for a live chat.
7:00pm - Midnight Garden streams live to all who sign into it.
Here's the link to join in: frenchyandthepunk.bandcamp.com/merch/midnight-gard…
Hope to see you there!
