Interview with Frank Lenz
with Alyssa Johnston-Sept. 8, 1998


 
Alyssa Johnston: Why did you decide to join the Lassie Foundation full time?

Frank Lenz: The answer should be obvious, I want to be apart of something brilliant and
new. The band inspires me.

AJ: Are you still working with Fold Zandura?

Frank: I will be playing with Fold when ever they need me here at home.

AJ: Do you  know about their plans for a new drummer?

Frank: I know that Kevin from Quail is currently with them and he is a great drummer.

AJ: Have you been involved in other bands in the past?

Frank: A few, I mostly have been a working musician my whole life, that means that I
have played anything for anybody if they pay me.

AJ: How did you get started playing the drums?

Frank: My father is a musician and I started when I was very young. When I knew I wanted to play the drums he made sure that I learned correctly. There's no reason for it, I've just always played the drums.

AJ:  My brother, Chad, saw Fold Zandura twice in concert and said you broke 2 snare heads in one show, and killed a small wiener dog named Freighter (or was that Trucker?) with a flying splinter.  Why do you pound the drums so much harder than most drummers?

Frank: Because Fold Zan was a trio, in that situation I would overplay to create some
energy on stage. Its hard to sound powerful when there's three guys and a tape player.
In Lassie I do not have a reason to play so hard. We have five talented members who are quite capable of creating a wonderful live sound, I don't feel so responsible for the rock and roll. Also, I have never harmed Eric's dog trucker, I've only made him a bit dizzy.

AJ: What's the first album you remember hearing?

Frank: Tower of Power, I don't recall the title.

AJ: What music do you listen to?

Frank: All kinds.

AJ: Do you play any instrument besides drums?

Frank: I try to play a little guitar but I suck. My degree was in choral conducting,
I sing sometimes.

AJ: What do you like to do that doesn't involve music?

Frank: Read

AJ: What are your future plans?

Frank: Make millions in music, be in a brilliant band, and be nice to my wife.  Thank you.
