Episode 770: Jimmy Flemion (The Frogs)

from RiYL

A legend among legends, The Frogs emerged as one of the most singular acts of the 80s/90s alternative music scene. Brothers Jimmy and Dennis Flemion were propelled by a love of pure pop rock, ultimately making a name through absurdly hilarious “Made Up Songs” that comprise a large piece of the band’s considerable discography. In the wake of Dennis’s unexpected death in 2012, Jimmy has carried on, tour, releasing music, and amassing a catalog of some 800 songs. Some of the best will be made available through My Daughter The Broad’s first vinyl release in decades. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
