Frank Navetta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Navetta was an original member of the punk-pop pioneering group Descendents (band), whom he played with for 6 years. He formed Descendents with Tony Lombardo and Bill Stevenson in 1979 and released the Ride The Wild/It's A Hectic World EP. The Descendents were then joined by vocalist Milo Aukerman, and recorded the Fat EP in 1981 and Milo Goes to College in 1982. The band took a hiatus when Milo went to college before they began recording I Don't Want To Grow Up in 1985. Navetta played on the title track, "Silly Girl", "GCF" and "Rockstar", but left after this. He moved to Oregon to become a full time fisherman and was replaced by Ray Cooper.
Frank joined Tony Lombardo and Bill Stevenson in the spring of 2002 for a reunion of sorts at ALL's quasi-annual festival Stockage in Fort Collins, Colorado. The group played songs as the original three-piece line-up that briefly existed before Milo Aukerman joined the group. His guitar style is heavily rooted in surf music, somewhat similar to that of East Bay Ray.
