Joel McDonald on the irrepressibly tasteful rip, shred and tear guitar technique. Bobby Poulton on 4 strings, hip thru

IT’S TIME TO ROCK AGAIN!

The country's hardest honed Heavy Rock odyssey. Forged in the decade long fires of Frankie's Pizza, uncaged, untamed and uncompromising

XOLO is a supergroup built to continue the chemistry of Frankie's World Famous House Band, and it’s main contributors.

In respecting the legacy of Frankie’s Pizza, when playing outside of those four walls it'll be done under the moniker of XOLO. We would never abandon the chemistry crafted over all those years. This is a way of keeping it alive, playing the shows we are called on for and continuing to bring the rock.

These two shows will be featuring

Andre Kaman
Joel McDonald
Jordan McDonald
Bobby Poulton

Let’s do this! 🤘🤘🤘

Over the years, we did a few deep dives into some of our favourite artists, which occasionally resulted in a full night. Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, KISS, Van Halen, Black Sabbath all got a full show, a couple of times with members from the bands! All of these will be a part of the final show tonight.
Almost time people… ready to see this off?
