Frente,一支来自澳洲的组合。 他们原本把自己称为 ” Frente! “, 过后也不懂是队里的哪个成员心血来潮,提议把 ! 给省略掉,结果大家一致同意。Frente 便成了这个组合的代名词。 刚开始队员总共有4人: Angie Hart - Vocals Simon Austin - Vocals, guitars Tim O' Connor - Bass Mark Picton - Drums 由Angie为女主音的Frente, 并不愿意顺着流行音乐的趋势,而做出迎合市场的泡泡糖音乐。相反地,他们宁愿走向非主流,朝着自己喜欢的木吉他民谣风格,创作出另一种清新的音乐。在他们的唱片里,你可以嗅到花香,大自然的气息,一种与世无争的慵懒。
Angie的干净嗓音总让人听了不自觉的爱上她。 1989年,当时还居住在Melbourne的Angie,连同好朋友Simon的支持下,决定要自组乐队。于是他们找来了Tim和Mark,加上Angie的声音,Simon的木吉他,便形成了Frente。在1992年,他们在家乡澳洲推出首张专辑,Marvin The Album。 专辑一推出后即受到当地青少年的欢迎。尤其是在当地校园里,Frente的歌曲更是成了学生们的喜爱。在完全没有意料之下,专辑卖了白金,而Frente也随后到国外许多地方巡回演唱。 不过,迅速的成名也为Frente带来了无限的压力。在巡回演唱后,Tim和Mark黯然决定离开Frente。而Angie和Simon也处于低潮心情,甚至一度想解散Frente。 在沉寂了一段日子后,Angie和Simon从新振作,找来了新队员Bill McDonald和Alastair Barden,并在1996年推出第二张唱片,Shape。虽然Shape的销售量不如首张专辑,但部分歌迷对它的评语却是相当高。因为Frente在这专辑里的个人风格非常突出,给歌迷带来了完全不同的感觉。 因为Shape专辑的推出,Frente也忙着为宣传而到处巡回演唱。而过后队员们之间再次出现意见分歧。于是在1998,Frente宣布解散。 点评: "Bizarre Love Triangle." 是翻唱“New Order”的旧作,女主音Angie Hart那把只属于天使纯净而又脆弱的嗓音,洗尽new order这群鼓噪的老人赋予“Bizarre Love Triangle”的滚滚风尘,配上吉他手Simon Austin田园宁静多变的木吉他,在耳边描绘了一幅莫奈笔下流光溢彩的印象派油画。

歌词
here's a door and here's a window
here's the ceiling
here's the floor
the room is lit like a black and white movie
the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for
and if you walk real slowly
you can feel the planet breathe
there's no need to feel so lowly
now that we've all learned to give
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
in the garden birds are singing
the sun is shining on the path
the wind is talking to the flowers
the dogs and cats all take a bath
and if you stop that talking
you can hear the traffic sigh
throw away those keys
start walking, watch those
tiny things go by
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
it's sunday everyday
and there's no need to rush around
inside of everybody there's sun
and laughter to be found
it seems that we're on holidays
and sleeping in is not a sin
all the housework's done by teatime
i'm feeling good about
the way i've been
perhaps this optimism
will crash on down
like a house of cards
i know that my decision
to change my life was not that hard
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
where friends and strangers
accidently kelly street
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
accidently...
accidently...
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet!
