----FRONTLINE----

here's a little info:
FROG & THE BEEFTONES
One of Michigan's favorite bands, FROG & THE BEEFTONES, can be seen rocking mid-Michigan's
nightclub and concert stages every week.
(in 2007 we did over 175 shows)
High energy, high musical proficiency and an
off the gauge fun factor add up to a great time for both the band and their listeners.
It's a 100% all beef musical menu and the audience never leaves hungry.
Since 1985 the 'Tones have done shows with Molly Hatchet, Blue Oyster Cult, Autograph, The Texas Tornadoes, Joe Diffie, Sleepy LaBeef, Rare Earth, Larry McCrae, James Harmon, Bill Kirchen, Jack Green, Stonewall Jackson, Edger Winter, Mitch Ryder, Mountain and many other national acts at clubs, county fairs and festivals around the midwest. Every year we do shows for WMMQ
(classic rock) radio. In 2000 we
even played at Olds Park before a Lugnuts game!
Make a point to come out and see us - we always have a great time!!!
-------------------------------------------------
here's a nice quotes fron the local press:
If you've been in Michigan for more than a couple of days then most likely you've heard of Frog and the Beeftones. Here is a group that knows how to take it out of the gate screamin'. Led by their incomparable guitarist Frog, this group is always looking to get the crowd up and movin'. If you like your blues with a healthy dose of rock n' roll then this is surely your bag.
--------------------------------------------
How can you not like a band with the name like Frog & the Beeftones. Frog's blazing fingers have no trouble bringing sounds from the crowd like "Ohhh" "Ahhh" and "I can't see his fingers they're so fast." Fast and accurate, Frog has a reputation for never missing a note or having a muddy sound. Think of Steve Vai or Gary Moore and you'll understand Frog's crowd appeal.
-----------------------------------------
Lansing is still a provincial town. Perhaps the answer to the end of the Temple Club is in the next block over, at the Unicorn Bar.
I visited recently on a Saturday night. The bar was packed, with entertainment from one of Lansing’s best bands, Frog and the Beeftones.

News that's fit to print!
Jan, 07
Mike Jesup is back!!
Many of you will remember Mike from when
he played in the band in the mid - 90's.
A fine bass player and singer with a wacky
sense of humor - Mike is a great addition.
Many thanks to Dennis (our old bass player)
who has taken a day job that will require
most of his time and a lot of travel.
Good luck Denni !!!
