Frank Palangi is a solo artist that resides in Queensbury, NY. Frank
takes care of all the instrumentation from vocals, guitars, drums,
bass, and keyboard. What caught our attention with Frank was how much
music he produces as just a one man band. Looking at the images you
would not figure what a powerful voice that comes from him. His
songwriting is very mature especially on tracks like, “Gramp’s Song.”
Frank plays out alot in upstate NY and has a deep love for the live
music scene. Frank is a musician that is true to himself as it is only
himself that he has to answer to. Frank says, “If you want to play
music, it must be a passion and a drive. Practice is the key to getting
better.”

The Toun Skware (2009) 1st article feature interview
-When the specter of serious chronic illness looms in the life of the fragile child, it spells defeat for many. They look ahead to a gloomy future of sheltered and quiet survival between bouts of infirmity, peppered by the neurotic paranoia of the perpetually sick. But when young Frank Palangi struggled through a postpartum stroke followed by a young childhood riddled by chronic asthma and allergies, he turned these harsh circumstances into the stuff of dreams.
Frank is a 20-year old upstate New York native who has jumped headfirst into the creative pool, making his mark on both the music and film world. As a solo artist, Frank's new CD, “I'm Waiting” has recently been made available and the title track is being played on local radio stations as well. Palangi wrote, performed and produced every aspect of the album, lending credence to the old adage, “if you want something done right, you need to do it yourself.”
While crafting the songs that made up this album (and its predecessor, “Falling Too” from 2006), Palangi also found time to feed his other passion, film making. The artist has developed several short film scripts, fan film shorts playing off popular mainstream and indie film franchises, and has worked with directors Ang Lee and Colin Bannon as an actor. When creating his own short films, Palangi writes and directs, taking roles in the films and working with his friends and fellow film students to fill out the character roles.
When I asked Frank what inspires him to be so creative, and to express his creativity visually and sonically, he replied, “I grew up with chronic asthma and allergies, and never got to do the things that other kids in school could do.” After school sports and activities were out of his reach due to health, so he focused on areas he could master on his own at home:
“I spent most of my time watching and studying films and music. Learning the pre-production, editing, recording, on-set filming... anything else I could.” This childhood obsession led to more mature expression as he began to create his own music and films. “I love playing music and filming,” Palangi says, “because it lets me forget my problems and illnesses and makes me feel I can achieve anything.”
With that kind of inspiration and determination at work, it is easy to believe Frank Palangi can achieve anything. Be sure to check out Palangi's work at his two MySpace pages,

www.myspace.com/frankpalangirocks (his solo music).

http://blogs.timesunion.com/localmusic/?p=112Queensbury, NY – Frank Palangi, a one-man band whose work has ranged from acoustic to hard rock.
“I’m Waiting” 2nd solo CD released 2008. Better than the first
(Falling too). More mainstream, less acoustic work, more Hard Rock
style. “My goal is to reach a mainstream audience, and hit the radio
stations.” “Maybe even a music video.” “I’m still doing all the
instruments and having a couple of guest musicians.” This 2nd CD shows
the improvement of the artist and skills of music/song writing.
Working as a solo artist who performs all his own instrumentation
has been a blessing for him, Palangi said. He suffers from severe
allergies and asthma and his ability to write and perform all his own
music – and to record it in his own home studio – has greatly lessened
the effects of what could otherwise have been considerable hardships
for a musician.
As a writer, he says he focuses on creating songs people will want
to hear over and over again. And nostalgia, he believes, is also an
important facet of songwriting. “Music should be entertainment. The
more you listen, the more you want,” Palangi said. “It’s all about
revisiting songs and remembering when you heard them in a certain time
of your life – almost like a photo album.”
Palangi likes to perform as frequently as possible. He plays heavily
in the area around Upstate, NY, the city he calls home. “I like to play
at the local coffee houses and some restaurants,” he says, noting that
he prefers to avoid bars where people are often too drunk to really
appreciate the music they’re hearing.
His constant playing (and constant writing and recording, too) are
signs of his passion for music – something he believes is required for
someone to be truly accomplished as a musical artist. “If you want to
play music, it must be a passion and a drive. Practice is the key to
getting better.”
Palangi is currently working with A&R Select, the world’s
leading independent artist development firm, based out of Los Angeles,
CA. Songs are selling through major online retails.
Itunes/Rhapsody/Napster.

I just joined (2008) with A&R in hopes to licence my music for tv/movies/video games and advertizments/commericals. They are also set up with close ties to Capital Records and others. They have a tv and radio program every week, providing the most recent info. Also, selling all my songs on the best internet music downloading companies like Itunes, Rhapsody, Digstaion and Napster.

Night of music, coffee
By CE SKIDMORE

Published: Friday, September 05, 2008
If Creed, Godsmack and Suicidal Tendencies could be smelted into one man, it is Frank Palangi.
The young singer-songwriter from Queensbury has recently released the album "I'm Waiting." It's a heavy, guitar-driven crash course in "nu metal" on which Palangi has recorded all the tracks himself.
Of course, he also plays well with others, as evidenced by collaborations with local musicians Joe Carroll and Danielle Bardin. Tonight, Palangi will go acoustic at the Ridge Street Coffee Co. in downtown Glens Falls.
The show should be a stark contrast to the album, which is decisively "plugged" with the exception of tracks like "This Girl" and "Last Wish."
"I'm Waiting" opens up with its title track, a song that reflects influences ages older than the artist himself.
In a press release, Palangi said that he suffers from severe allergies and asthma.
It is clear from his sound that the artist spent the time grounded by his maladies listening to the gods of glam.
"I'm Waiting" is the second effort for the young performer. His first disc, "Falling Too," dropped in 2006.
In addition to composing all the instrumentation, Palangi also authors the lyrics, records each track and produces the entire package at a home studio.
He is passionate about the craft. Via press release he said, "(Music) is all about revisiting songs and remembering when you heard them in a certain time in your life -- almost like a photo album."

PRESS RELEASES A&R SELECT/Frank Palangi
http://mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=112666(Press Release Sept.2008)
One-man act Frank Palangi announces new project.
Queensbury, NY – Solo artist Frank Palangi, whose music ranges from acoustic rock to heavier flavors, has announced the new single from new CD.
"I'm Waiting," from the album of the same name, stands as the tone-setter for the CD (thus its selection as the lead single). It's a sterling example of Palangi's style, both as a songwriter and performer. Propelled both by rich melodies and driving riffs and percussive grooves, "I'm Waiting" is a brilliant blend of heartfelt, emotional songwriting and Palangi's own brand of hard rock energy. Mid-tempo but with balanced, heavy crunch, "I'm Waiting" moves with an urgent pulse that draws in the listener with tangible hooks.
The verses have the pull of Homer's beloved, dread sirens, luring the hearer into a big-sound chorus that explodes with color, all of which is in line with Palangi's songwriting philosophy. "I like a good drum beat and catchy guitar riffs," Palangi says. "And the chorus and theme MUST stand out." And the song's production is gleaming and pristine, bringing just the right amount of density versus space to the tune.
Thematics are vital elements in Palangi's songwriting. Every one of his songs is built from a core theme that shapes the construction of the song and gives Palangi a focal point as he creates each new tune. "It sets a goal and makes you think hard on that one idea," he says, emphasizing his belief that an artist should put his all into everything he or she writes.
Not only does Palangi write all his own music – he also brings it all to life. He sings and plays every instrument on the entire "I'm Waiting" album. The ability to be self-contained as an artist is an important part of Palangi's musical world. He endures severe allergies, as well as asthma, and being in a position to do everything himself staves off obstacles that would otherwise arise if he was in a collaborative project.
Palangi previously released the 2006 album "Falling Too." He is currently working with A&R Select, the premier A&R firm based out of Los Angeles, CA.
