Arty Lenin

Gary Frenay and Arty Lenin first performed together in 1977 in the CNY-based power pop band, The Flashcubes. From 1980 to 1986 they continued to play together under the name Screen Test. In 1991 Arty relocated to New York City, where he began working and writing with Paul Collins. Together they formed the Paul Collins Band (featuring ex-members of the db's and Television). They released a CD, "From Town To Town" in 1993. In 1996 Arty moved back to Syracuse where he and Gary gradually reformed, first with annual reunions of their 70"s band (The Flashcubes), and eventually as an acoustic duo (Frenay & Lenin), rock trio (Neverly Brothers Band) and recently in a new five-piece British Invasion tribute band (Fab Five).
