THE FROGS

SEPTEMBER 16, 2026 [New York, NY] –To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the landmark album My Daughter The Broad, Jimmy Flemion of Milwaukee's legendary and brilliantly subversive band THE FROGS has added will a second intimate and rare "songs and stories," this time at Chicago, IL's  Andrew Rafacz Gallery  (1749 W. Chicago Ave., Chicago IL) on Saturday, October 10 to celebrate the 30th anniversary vinyl reissue of his band’s classic My Daughter the Broad album. This follows the SOLD OUT record release show on Saturday, October 3rd at Milwaukee’s Irving Place Records (1627 E Irving Pl Milwaukee, WI 53202). The masterpiece of intensely transgressive lo-fi pop, My Daughter The Broad, has been reissued in expanded form as a double LP on randomly-colored vinyl via Foreign Leisure Records this past Friday, September 11, 2026 and can be ordered here: thefrogs1.bandcamp.com. Brothers Jimmy and Dennis Flemion became The Frogs in 1980, recording and releasing music for various labels until Dennis’ untimely death in 2012. Famously controversial and undeniably talented, the duo caught the eyes and ears of some of the biggest rock stars of their day. They toured with Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, were sampled by Beck, and beloved by Kurt Cobain, who insisted that their classic 1989 album It’s Only Right and Natural be played over the PA before Nirvana gigs. Since his brother’s passing, Jimmy Flemion has played a very limited number of shows—the most recent was in 2023, and he also toured with Evan Dando of the Lemonheads in 2020. On the occasion of My Daughter the Broad’s reissue which includes eight bonus tracks, he’s stepping back into the spotlight for this very intimate gig. Flemion will play songs from throughout the Frogs catalog and talk about their origins and the music he made with Dennis, and more.

Saturday, October 10, 2026 Doors at 7 p.m. ANDREW RAFACZ GALLERY 1749 W. Chicago Ave. Chicago, IL 60622 Ticket link: Jimmyfrogchicago.eventbrite.com

Originally released by Matador Records in 1996, My Daughter The Broad is returning to vinyl after nearly 30 years. The Frogs lit up the underground with their fearless sense of absurdism. On one hand, they composed pop-centric masterpieces inspired by glam and classic British pop. On the other, they maniacally created what they called “Made-Up Songs” -  fully improvised bits of largely acoustic pop jingles that were, more often than not, accompanied by lyrics that would make your mother blush. Gathering some of the goofiest, most sublime songs ever recorded, My Daughter The Broad (named as a nod to Mudhoney who had recently released My Brother The Cow) contains such poignant classics as the heart-wrenching “Which One Of You Gave My Daughter The Dope?” to the equally thought-provoking “Who’s Sucking On Grandpa’s Balls Since Grandma Ain’t Home Tonight?,” “Where’s Jerry Lewis?,” and “I’m Sad The Goat Just Died Today.” These songs are not for the faint of heart or easily offended, but who wants to be friends with those people anyway? “Music has always been my saving grace,” concludes Jimmy.  “It’s given me a purpose and a deep feeling of why I believe I’m here. The Frogs were always Dennis and me. It will never be the same again. No matter what, I will always continue to make music because it is in my soul and always will be.” My Daughter The Broad is now available via Foreign Leisure Records and can be ordered at thefrogs1.bandcamp.com.
