Every once in a while the punk rock geniuses (we read a lot of Wikipedia, after all) here at Dying Scene like to unleash some noteworthy trivia. Today’s “fun factoid” is about The Mr. T Experience frontman Frank Portman (better known as Dr. Frank) and some of his extracurricular activities.
Dr. Frank has been the frontman for the seminal Bay-area punk band The Mr. T Experience for over 25 years now, releasing fifteen albums with the group. In addition to 3 solo albums, Dr. Frank began a career in young adult fiction writing in 2006 when he released “King Dork,” which gained recognition as a 2007 Best Book for Young Adults from the American Library Association. He released his second book “Andromeda Klein” in 2009 (his solo album of the same name serves as a companion), and is currently working on his third.
