CU
Austin, Texas musician originally from Indiana. Born in Virginia to Cuban parents, Frankie found fame in Bloomington, Indiana playing in such bands as QAX Pistols and Mars Needs Women. Naturally, since he was a good 1,000 miles from the nearest wave, he decided that he wanted to focus his considerable talents on surf-pop music, and thus was born his present band, Moto-X. Influenced by Link Wray and Jon and the Nightriders, they became very popular in Indiana, but Frankie, realizing that greener pastures (and closer beaches) existed in Texas, began moving the band to Austin a year ago. Until they all arrived, he was lead guitarist with Dino Lee's white Trash Revue,
