The Frickashinas were born from one really bad band name suggestion and four great friends in the midst of the Covid 19 Pandemic in 2020. However, what originally started out as buddies having fun and writing a few songs to fill the time during lockdowns while their regular bands were on hiatus, eventually snowballed into a full fledged punk band! Although, the members have all been entrenched in the diverse music scene in The Mile High City for over 20 years in various musical projects, jazz bands, and studio work they had never really played together as a band. But as soon as they did, they instantly knew that they had chemistry and communal love for the music they were playing. Once the first couple songs were written, they decided to hit the studio and get them recorded (with producer Scott Hallquist of Ten Foot Pole, DC Fallout and others).

Over the past two years, the quartet has played numerous shows in the Denver area and the greater western region, opening for touring acts such as Guttermouth, Authority Zero, & The Bastard Suns just to name a few.

Always looking to improve, the band kept writing new material and recorded tracks with Felipe Patino (Green Door Recordings, Bricheros/Sack) and Kyle Tilev (Black in Bluhm Music, CounterPunch) and released their debut full-length, “Thanks For The Invite” in Spring of 2023.

After releasing 3 singles, 5 music videos, (and a partridge in a pear tree) The Frickashinas are nothing if not prolific. With multiple tours and festivals on the books for 2024, chances are you will see/hear them for yourselves.

Now, if we could only get people to pronounce the name correctly!
