San Diego guitar duo James "Mike" McCullock and Jack "Stretch" Norris form the band Tiny Frank. They originally met in the garage of a mutual friend, and had no idea the other played. Months later, at another mutual friend’s house, they found out they each shared a love of music and traded demos. Without knowing, they had both covered the same song on their demos - Peter Gabriel's 'In Your Eyes'. They started getting together to play, and covered some really crazy stuff. After time, they started to acquire a following. It wasn't long before they had their first original (Leia As A Slave), and recently recorded their first in-studio CD, Hot Like a Fonda.
