Frankie Fatal nee Hill, is a well known Waiheke musician, songwriter and singer.
Here's one for the obscurists amongst you. Fatal Jelly Space were a great Auckland band who released one great EP titled Hole on Flying Nun in 1990. They were a staunchly feminist outfit and a ferocious (if not somewhat scary) phenomenon live striking fear into the hearts of many.
In the early years of the twenty first century Bob Dylan played the god-awful North Shore Events Centre in Takapuna, Auckland. Ordinarily that wouldn't have grabbed me, but supporting him was none other than Patti Smith. As soon as I heard that I was there. She was better than I can describe here and I went away very happy.
On the way back into town to catch the last ferry to Waiheke we saw someone hitching we recognised as coming from the island. We picked her up and got chatting and it turned out this fellow Patti Smith fan was Frankie Bodi of Fatal Jelly Space.
So anyway, in 2003 I was putting together a series of live-to-air performances on Waiheke Island's community radio station, The Beach 99.4fm to mark NZ Music Month. I remembered that late night hitch-hiking encounter and approached Frankie about performing. She agreed, playing a short set of originals. To my ears, this was the highlight, one of the tracks from the Hole EP, Miseriah, followed by Skin, one of Frankie's Waiheke originals.
