FRANK MEYER

Announces U.S. Tour In Support of
Debut Solo Album Living Between The Lines

OCTOBER 8, 2025[Los Angeles, CA]– Punk rock stalwart and multi-hyphenate artist Frank Meyer announced the first U.S. tour under his own name in support of his debut solo album Living Between the Lines (out now via Kitten Robot). Long celebrated as frontman of West Coast punk icons The Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs and collaborator with legends such as James Williamson (Iggy & the Stooges), Wayne Kramer (MC5), and FEAR, Meyer steps firmly into the spotlight with an eclectic set of solo dates that showcase his wide-ranging artistry. The entire tour features direct support from Detroit rockers THE STRAINS, whose rhythm section (Al King on drums, Kellen Mutter on bass) will back Meyer up on the Midwest run, which kicks off October 31st in Dayton, OH before weaving through the Midwest with stops in Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and more. For the West Coast run that follows in December — highlighted by shows at San Diego’s Casbah, Los Angeles’ Redwood Bar, San Francisco’s Bottom of the Hill, and Joshua Tree’s Mojave Gold — Meyer will be backed by fellow Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs Bruce Duff (bass) and Mike Sessa (drums). For all dates, Meyer will be joined by multi-instrumentalist Ozzy Carmona, on keyboards, guitar and ukulele, and the band will perform songs from his solo debut plus classics by Meyer’s acts Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs, Trading Aces, and Highway 61. Select dates will feature special guests Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator, KYUSS) and his Death Acoustic and desert rock band Volume (all dates listed below).

LivingBetweentheLines marks a new chapter for Meyer who brings shades of blues and soul into his trademark high-energy punk ’n’ roll. With standout collaborations including Runaways icon Cherie Currie on the haunting “Piece of Me,” Bellrays powerhouse Lisa Kekaula on the fiery title track (“Living Between the Lines“), and longtime friend Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers) on “Partners in Crime,” the 11-track album highlights both his evolution as a songwriter and his longstanding connections in the punk and rock community. The album has also delivered explosive singles “Baby Dynamite” and “Blue Radio,” with music videos inspired by John Waters, Quentin Tarantino, and David Lynch further cementing Meyer’s status as a boundary-pushing artist.“This will be my first time touring under my own name,” says Meyer. “I’ve always been a band guy, but with Living BetweentheLines, I am finally stepping out on my own. I dig it.”While Meyer has built his career as a bandleader, sideman, filmmaker, and author, LivingBetweentheLines represents his most personal and daring work to date. “This record is about me finally stepping out of the collective and saying, ‘This is who I am,’” he explains. “It’s not just punk, it’s not just rock, it’s all the music I love thrown into one.”With a career that has already included working alongside rock icons, penning acclaimed books (OntheRoadwithThe Ramones), and directing award-winning documentaries (Risen:TheStoryofChron‘HellRazah’Smith), Meyer is now bringing the full scope of his creative voice to audiences across the country.
