Biography
The Phantom Four are the follow up to the legendary instrumental surfband The Treble Spankers from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The Treble Spankers did over 500 gigs in The Netherlands between 1993 and 1996, playing packed venues and all major Dutch festivals like Pinkpop, Lowlands, Parkpop, Paaspop, Noorderslag and various “bevrijdingsfestivals”. The band toured Belgium, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the UK extensively and received major radio airplay on the single “Red Hot Navigator”. Their second album “Hasheeda” ended up selling over 20.
000 copies in The Netherlands. Due to physical problems of Phantom Frank, the mastermind behind the band, The Treble Spankers had to call it a day in 1997.
Early 2004, after releasing a very well received solo album, Phantom Frank decides to form The Phantom Four with members Marc de Regt (Kek ‘66), Marnix Krabbendam (The Budgetics) and Niels Jansen (The Butcher’s Wife). Besides surf standards like Malagueña, Margaya en Johnny Guitar a huge collection of compositions is written. On 7th November 2004 the very first concert of The Phantom Four takes place in underground Café De Diepte in Amsterdam. The concerts audio is recorded in stereo on VHS by some friends. Because of the great quality and spontanious vibe of the recordings the band decides to release it on CD without any post-production or mixing. Probably the first band ever to put out a live album of their entire debut concert.
