Release #1 - Francis Smith in "Hold Me Tight"

Francis & The Vegas Tramps is a sci-fi, murder mystery set in a retro-future —Josie & The Pussycats in Outer Space meets Criminal. Once billed as the next big thing, the band that never became anything is thrown back together years after their breakup when a shocking murder pulls them into a dark orbit of suspicion and regret. Two decades after their final show, the surviving members of Francis & The Vegas Tramps are forced to face the ghosts they left behind. Molly, the sharp-tongued bassist turned solo star; Ray, the loyal drummer now spinning records instead of breaking them; and Francis, the fallen frontman making a living as an Elvis impersonator—all find themselves caught in the glare of a crime that cuts too close to home. Haunted by the past and driven by equal parts guilt and curiosity, The Vegas Tramps retrace the glittering wreckage of their rise and fall. As they revisit old haunts and confront buried grudges, each step draws them closer to the truth—and to the realization that fame might not have been the most dangerous thing they ever chased.
