When the Frogs took the stage Saturday night at the Maintenance Shop they were greeted with both cheers and confused looks. Dressed to represent the breadth of their material, lead guitarist Jimmy Flemion wore his signature green-sequined bat suit, while drummer Dennis Flemion played in blackface, wearing a black lace pajama suit. Bassist Beezer wore a pink suit and a scruffy black wig that matched the one Dennis wore. The Frogs opened with “Pleasure,” but really excited the crowd with an extended version of the classic “I’ve Got Drugs,” from the album “It’s Only Right and Natural.” The Frogs then played their way into a hard rocking version of “Homos,” and then moved into the more recent “Starboy.” After introducing “Hell Patrol,” a new song possibly to be featured on the Frogs’ upcoming January release, “Hopscotch Lollipop Sunday Surprise,” the band got pummeled with yells of requests by three drunken hecklers in the front row. Dennis admittedly has always despised requests, so he told them to shut up and a roar of agreement ensued from the fans. The band later jammed out an extended version of “Adam and Steve,” which had Jimmy roaming through the crowd vicariously playing effortless licks on his guitar that were just as amusing as the smirk he flashed on his face now and then. Probably one of Jimmy’s greatest tricks came when he sprawled on the floor to play yet another extended song, this time with “These Are the Finest Queen Boys I’ve Ever Seen.” Jimmy later sat down at a table to play. These crowd-pleasing gimmicks combined with the three hecklers began to rattle Dennis, which lead him to throw his mic to the floor or flash an angry look at Jimmy or Beezer. At one point, he came out from behind his drums to move a floor monitor and knocked over a beer bottle, shattering it. “Yeah! How punk was that?” Dennis said, responding to the mess he had created. Later, in a spontaneously punk moment, the Frogs invited one of the hecklers, who happened to be wearing a bra and panties outside of his clothes, to help finish singing the song and later stumble his way through “Rockin’ and Reelin’ #1.” Even the Frogs stumbled through songs, as the perfectionist in Dennis came through. He often stopped the band if a song didn’t start the way he wanted. This has always been a signature move of the Frogs, especially when matched with songs about making it in show business like “New York Shitty.” The Frogs also played an acoustic set which included “Where’s Jerry Lewis” and the sentimental yet edgy ballad “Fuck Off,” which got a few laughs but wasn’t really meant to be funny. Near the end of the show Jimmy pulled off a classic rock move by throwing down his guitar and tearing off his bat suit. After Dennis and Beezer left the stage Jimmy continued the show, signing autographs and selling tapes before finishing out the set with a shirtless version of “Gwendolyn Macrea.” Opening the show was the Minneapolis band Manplanet. The band had a more space-aged edge to their music, but included the visual flair common to modern rock shows and tricks the Frogs have always made fun of, including flashpots and guitars that shoot sparks. Manplanet took the Slipknot jumpsuit fashion to a whole new level with each band member wearing his own designated color. Even their instruments were color- coded, and matching the whole experimental effect the band was going for were flasks filled with appropriate colors of Gatorade and vodka. Manplanet pumped out fuzzy tunes like “I, Robot,” and “Black Box,” while the lead singer, an Anthony Kiedis look-alike hopped around the stage. In between songs the bassist would speak in a robotic voice to announce the next tune or talk about the band. Interestingly enough, like the Frogs in their youth, Manplanet offered up a uniquely experimental, though more pop-driven sound. The music could easily find its way to radio, or, like the Frogs, end up with a cult underground following that will last decades.
