From their teenage roots of the New York City scene like CBGB’s, Max’s Kansas City, China Club and more and the separate successful career paths of their own; lifelong friends and former band mates Gar Francis and Wayne Olivieri (Rockids) reunited to write and record together once again. Along with former bandmate Dan Skye (Oliver’s Twist) and new Drummer, Johnnie Rago, they formed The New Bardots. FRENCH KISSES is The New Bardots’ debut album (Bongo Boy Records) which is a testament to their Rock & Roll blood that flows through the veins of these Veteran New Jersey Rockers. From the first single, a modern-day remake of the classic Jerry Lee Lewis’s “Great Balls of Fire”( Bongo Boy Records) to the heartfelt balled “The Soldier’s Wife” which is a tribute to the past and present men and woman of our military, and their Bonus Track "Gone For The Weekend", it's clear that The New Bardots are the band out to save Rock & Roll from extinction; plain and simple.
