We had the pleasure of interviewing David Michael Frank over Zoom video!
Multi-instrumentalist + creator David Michael Frank, recently released the new single called "F*** Me Over", about coming to the end of a relationship when one person isn't quite ready to face it yet.
"It tackles the often unspoken but universally felt desire for something clear-cut when lost in the haze of a dying relationship," says David. "It combines brutal honesty with vulnerability, highlighting the internal struggle of someone who wants clarity, even if that means facing painful truths."
Frustrated by the idea of waiting for opportunities to come his way, DMF set out to take the full risk of thinking outside the traditional touring norm. Instead of playing conventional venues and collaborating with promoters/teams in a competitive touring marketplace, David took the bold step of outright RENTING 24 venues up front, believing in himself at a time when he felt like no one else was believing in him. By renting venues, each concert on the Private Party Tour becomes an exclusive "Private Party." Rather than hiring an agent for a traditional tour, he engaged event planners to secure the necessary licenses to serve (and in many states, sell) alcohol and food, as well as hiring licensed Tattoo artists to work the events and will be keeping the profits.
By taking on the upfront cost, unlike a traditional tour where ticket sales money is withheld by the venue/promoter, David found a loophole unbeknownst to the music industry. Ticket fees, a sore subject, are nominal and the compensation to the artist is finally fair. His innovative approach challenges the affordability of touring for artists of all sizes, potentially disrupting the entire touring industry and attracting major brand partners, while also shining a light on the darker aspects of the industry.
The Private Party Tour blurred the lines between the audience and the stage, creating an incredibly intimate and immersive concert-going experience.
