HISTORY (JUNE 2005 -FEBRUARY 2008) FRANK RIZZO was born June 2005. With all members (Nick, Troy, Grant, Scotty, Matt and Romano) being massive fans of telephone pranksters The Jerky Boys for years, we thought it would be funny to start a 6-piece thrash band with a bit of tongue in cheek madness. After constantly reading about all these bands forming using peoples names as their band name (we still don’t know why bands do that), there was no other option than to name ours after one of our imaginery heroes, FRANK RIZZO, the underground mob-gangster-icon from Chicago.

With over half of Jungle Fever heading back to Adelaide after the bands demise, three of the members (the important ones to this story) wanted to keep moving forward with their music and not rest on their laurels. From their itchy beginnings as Thrush, through to the yummy transformation into Choc Chip, we give you Sex Wizard! Hard to know which moniker would have the most impact but magic was the winner of the day.

There are TWO bands by this name.
1) Drawing influence from 80's goth bands like The Cure and Joy Division, as well as more hardcore bands like Samhain and Black Flag, They Live's music showcases a dark, unrelenting and at times highly melodic sound that is sure to be a breath of fresh air to listeners tired of that passive nancy boy sound that's been all the rage these past few years. They Live has been playing in the twin cities and the midwest in general for four years now.

Trash Talk is an American hardcore punk band from Sacramento, California, formed in 2005. They have toured all around the world including Japan, Australia, Europe, as well as performed in many festivals in support of their releases. Formed in 2005, Trash Talk began releasing a demo and 7 inch vinyl EP on Sell Our Souls Records. After that they would go on to release a split with Bay Area band Steel Trap on Spiderghost Pressgang.
