Live with Fish on Friday
Born 1962, Frank Van Bogaert started his music career at the age of 18 with the founding of Belgian New Wave band 1000 Ohm.
In 1981 1000 Ohm scored a big international hit “A.G.N.E.S.”, today still a much aired New Wave evergreen .
The band had more successes like the 1985 charting hit “The Claim”.
In 1987 Frank pulled the plug out of the band to concentrate on what was to become a very succesful career as Producer/Composer/Sound Engineer.
Having spend that much time in the studio with his former band, the studio just became Frank’s ‘natural habitat’, as to speak.

ACE STUDIO
By the end of the 80’s and the beginning of the 90’s Frank had also become a much in demand composer of radio commercial tunes and TV series music.
This is also the time when he bought Antwerp based ACE Studio.
His management and producer skills quickly catapulted the ACE Studio from a moderate studio to one of the most reputated and busiest studio’s in the country.
Even today, in these troubled economic times, ACE still stands strong as one of the few top of the range studio’s the country still has left.

From mid 90’s on, Frank also began to release Electronic/Cinematic music under his own name.
Up to today 7 albums and one ‘best of’ of very high quality instrumental music have been released.
This music has been awarded several times with the 1999 album ‘Geographic’ being the stand out , having received all three German Schwingungen (WDR) 2000 awards for best album, best artist and best song.
In the meanwhile Frank has never ceased to concentrate on his producer’s career.
The list of artists he has worked with is way to long to list here, but it reads like the “who is who” in Belgian showbizz.
The last decade Frank has been specializing in producing rock music with a preference to Progressive rock, a music style he grew up with and has great affection for.
To cut a long story short, that’s why he’s now in Fish on Friday as keyboardplayer and singer.
For those with nostalgic feelings about that warm 1000 Ohm vocalsound, it’s back, just listen to Fish on Friday’s albums.
