FRANK KERR aka FRANKIE VENOM of TEENAGE HEAD: 1957 - 2008



It is with great sadness that Gord Lewis of Teenage Head announces the tragic passing earlier today of Canadian icon Frank Kerr aka Frankie Venom of natural causes.

Frank was the lead singer of punk rock pioneers Teenage Head, founded at Westdale High School in Hamilton, Ontario in 1975.

An inevitable tribute
 
I see you have the new site up Ed. Looks good, if a little cramped in some spots.
 
PM me with any other comments. We're currently in beta and are making a bunch of changes. Same goes for anybody else here.

Now back to Frankie Venom. My first concert was sometime in the late 70's early 80's. CNE Grandstand. Teenage Head opening for Triumph. Teenage Head drove onto the field in a large limo. Fantastic show and it plunged Ed into punk rock in a major way. You could say that show helped bring on the new site we just launched.
 
A great loss.
Is dying of cancer now considered a "natural cause" of death?
