	CANOE -- JAM! - Obscure Frogs take a leap into the spotlight
		Basically a duo, featuring Flemion and his singer-guitarist brother Jimmy, the group formed in Milwaukee in 1980 under the usual post-punk circumstances.
		The band's little-heard first album from 1988, however, betrays the Flemion brothers' love of The Kinks, Donovan and The Beatles, while the material isn't unlike that of The Frogs' cross-town rivals, Violent Femmes.
		Flemion finally reached the masses when he replaced the late Jonathan Melvoin as touring keyboard player for The Smashing Pumpkins on their 1996 tour.

		Bio: Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, the Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock.
		In the wake of the tragedy, the remaining Pumpkins fired Chamberlin and spent two months on hiatus as they recovered and searched for a new drummer.
		Early in August, they announced that Filter member Matt Walker would be their touring drummer, and Dennis Flemion, a member of the Frogs, would be their touring keyboardist for the remainder of the year.

		Dennis Flemion sounds irritable and flabbergasted for close to two hours -- a marathon by interview standards, especially since the founder of the Frogs prefers to keep to himself.
		Flemion and Jimmy, his younger brother by five years, discovered mainstream FM radio, took up drums and guitar, respectively, and proceeded to knock out songs by the boatload.
		Settling down, Flemion mentions plans for an upcoming Frogs boxed set -- though no definite release date or label has been decided upon -- as well as a new, unfinished record described as having a lot of space and sorrow in it, à la Neil Young.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: SXSW Profiles
		The Frogs, aka Dennis and Jimmy Flemion of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, first caused a ruckus with 1989's It's Only Right and Natural, songs of a fictional "gay supremacy movement" of which the brothers were supposedly members.
		It's not a surprising boast from a man who admits that much of the material on the band's releases is "off-the-cuff improvisation," though Dennis seems frustrated that until recently, the band has had little chance to show off their more purposely crafted works.
		Despite the Johnny Rottenesque confrontational attitude behind the Frogs' music, Dennis Flemion seems to carry with him little of the former Sex Pistol's pretension, adding simply that he believes people who have only heard the Frogs' quietly disturbing on-record noodling "will be pleasantly surprised" by the band's live performance.

		Currently on the band's myspace.com page, a photo of the Flemion brothers posing with Kurt Cobain serves as a tragic reminder of the influence they once held with the past icons of alternative rock and the recognition that never followed.

		The Milwaukee rock duo The Frogs (brothers Dennis and Jimmy Flemion) has, for the last 20-plus years, treated a small, passionate cult to a tuneful (many songs recall early Bowie) buffet of verboten subject matter.
		Most of the public's Frogs knowledge comes from an archive of material recorded at once during the "made-up song sessions." Those songs, owing to a series of label snafus that pinballed the band from Homestead to Matador to 4 Alarm to Scratchie, were released piecemeal over more than a decade.
		Dennis Flemion (who, like Goad, dons flface on-stage) is straightforward and intense.

		Documenting the sudden rise and fall of Nirvana and their followers in less than 17 minutes, the Flemion brothers graphically depict the lasting impact and the constant turmoil of the late alternative titans making for one of the shortest "concept albums" ever created.
		Amazingly enough, aside from the wonderfully vulgar pop of "Raped", Starjob is relatively inoffensive, quite the feat for the Frogs, and follows a more traditional song structure that combines the subtle dream pop of the Smashing Pumpkins with the simplistic acoustic melodies of the Violent Femmes.
		Underground legends Jimmy and Dennis Flemion, better known as the bizarre and incomparable Frogs, have been championed by many of alternative rock's bigger names.

		Jimmy and Dennis Flemion are quintessential cult musicians, admired by a fervent few.
		The Last Hard Men were a one-off supergroup of sorts: Jimmy Flemion, Kelley Deal of the Breeders, Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlain, and Bach, who produced the album (it was recorded sometime in 1996 or 1997, but apparently it languished in major label limbo until now).
		Hardcore Frogs fans—and most Frogs fans are hardcore—will want to pick this up for Flemion's contributions; several of his songs are exclusive to the album, or otherwise only available on hand-dubbed cassettes from his band's website.

		Flemion says the problem stems not only from mainstream bands, but modern song form as well.

		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 flface, wearing a fl lace pajama suit.
		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.

		Milwaukeean Dennis Flemion, the Frogs drummer who was hired to replace Melvoin on keyboards, apparently was crowded off the stage by a huge string section during the show-opening performance of "Tonight, Tonight." However, known Frog consort Rich Menning of Atomic Records said Flemion was "definitely in the house" at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
		Pop phenomenon Alanis Morissette was the only one who could take an award away from the Pumpkins: editing, for her "Ironic" video.
