From Mal's childhood on the farm where he grew up in Victoria, a meal of rabbit was always called
"underground mutton" hence Mal & Frank's label and recording studio was born in 1998.
In answer to your question "who the hell are Frank Gallen & Mal E Bull"?
Frank has been Australasian grand finalist in the Tamworth "Starmaker" twice, a singer with a golden voice as well as a talented songwriter. Mal E Bull is from the other camp of rock-n-roll, a session muso, composer/songwriter and recording producer who has worked in many of our top bands.
Frank and his partner Joanne have a farm at Coolongolook on the NSW mid north coast where the think tank and great music is produced at Underground Mutton.
Mal resides on the NSW central coast (when not at underground mutton) with his pride and joy the duo's mascot "Damien" (6) going on (45)
On a serious note ...Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Frank and Mal are a great songwriting team with Mal's sharp wit and humour being ever present in his protest songs that have governments pulling out their hair, yet on the other hand he produces great ballads like "Up there on the farm" on the "From Scratch" album. Frank is more into his memories of the bush, ballads and Australiana and this is what makes this great duo not only first class songwriters but their live performances leave most in their wake.
Since the duo was formed as independants from the CM platforms they are constantly in demand at venue's around the cities and country and are always requested for future engagements by audience demand.
Their CD's & Tapes are only available from this website, but are looking at signing to a distributor in 2005. click here to purchase & read more
