Dust Bowl Faeries + Frenchy & the Punk at No Fun, Troy NY

FRENCHY AND THE PUNK is French-born singer and percussionist Samantha Stephenson and American Hardcore Punk veteran guitarist Scott Helland. Their music is flavored with a retro-80’s dark alternative post-punk vibe intertwined with 60s pop and modern cabaret.
