The Frankie Sixes

THE FRANKIE SIXES

The Frankie Sixes are currently one of the most prominent swing jazz combos in Malaysia, as well as a rising star in the South East Asian/East Asian lindy hop live music scene. Formed in 2017, the 6-piece band is passionate about pushing Malaysian swing jazz, having released an EP of original swing tunes in 2023.

They maintain close lindy ties in the region, with a lindy hop music video for their lead single “Tepuk Amai-Amai” featuring 105 dancers from across 12 countries. Using swing jazz as a vehicle to tell Malaysian stories and anecdotes, locally they have performed at Publika Jazz Fest, Iskandar Puteri Jazz Festival, Malaysia Jazz Piano Festival, KL Swing Fest, Urbanscapes Festival and internationally in Thailand (Swingmania, Rising Bangkok), Taiwan (Taiwan Lantern Festival, Friday Swing 3rd Anniversary) and Korea (Club Monk, Haeundae Jazz Festival).
