This is New Wisco Weekend, I'm Lisa Hale.
George Elliott once wrote,
life seems to go on without effort
when I am filled with music.
So today we bring you Chris Fragowski,
who appeared on a recent episode of Mino in the Mayor.
So I see you're coming in solo today.
Yeah, you're representing the group.
So tell us about your group and why,
why is it just you today, dog on it all?
Yeah, well, because everyone has normal jobs
and I have, I don't know, I'm by that now.
All of a sudden, if you ever ask of the question.
No, I'm a full-time business owner.
I'm a photographer and musician and that's how I make my money.
So I set my own hours and that's why I'm here at 836
and they're at an office job.
Well, that's kind of,
thanks for getting up early.
He goes, no, I'm up at 6 or 5 or whatever you said.
I feel better in musician.
Well, no, I know.
It's good to be king.
How'd you find us?
How'd you get to the show?
How'd you get here?
Sarah Rosenberg actually told me about great friend.
Yeah, she said they're looking for someone,
email them right now and I went, okay, okay.
Well, I always want to know just on a very general,
how are things in the music scene?
How are you feeling like the music scene?
I think things are really going good in the music scene,
especially in Green Bay.
I feel like it's making it come back after 10, 15 years
of junk for a while.
It's really starting to make it come back.
And especially after COVID,
now things are really picking up.
Right.
So an immigrant group is called Age of Fable.
Is that correct?
So it is.
And are you going to play something from the group
as that something that you do use?
Yeah, this is called guillotine.
And ironically, it was pretty.
Guys, stay, guys.
It's a love song.
It is originally.
It goes your head over to love song about how I hate life.
Not just kidding.
No, you're one of those guys, are you?
So emo.
Yeah, so yeah, anyways, funny enough, I wrote this at 5 a.m.
All right, here we go.
Sure got quiet around here.
I know.
That's because I use the setting the mood.
I'm going to hear this song about guillotines.
I'm scared.
Hold me.
OK.
You weren't so guillotine, cutting and killing swiftly.
The crowd stays in amazement, this eventual land is praising.
The moment's silence, cut by a violent riot.
Like a hot knife through the skin, you can't feel anything.
Searing pain as I become ill, can't do anything.
A trend on him doesn't help.
I can't breathe every last ounce of that is out.
In a last ditch effort to escape.
I don't want to end this game.
Everyone's a critic of the minutes I waste.
But I wonder what they say it's to my face.
They don't believe in what I have to say.
They're full of it, and that's fine with me.
A trend on him doesn't help.
I can't breathe every last ounce of that is out.
In a last ditch effort to escape.
I don't want to end this game.
You weren't so guillotine, cutting and killing swiftly.

You had Dennis and I in the first stanza.
I was referring to defend myself the whole time.
Is that song out there?
It's been out since 2020.
The band had a COVID project because the world was shut down.
We recorded three albums and we did this concept album of ethos, pathos and logos.
That was the first single off of pathos.
How do we find your music?
Facebook.com slash age of fable.
This is called dig your own grave.
Yeah, right.
Dig your own grave just to say that you did.
Then you pretend like you want to exist.
Live for you and not lie for them.
Everything is about you in the end.
All you say is what you said to me today.
I'm not surprised.
I didn't want to stay.
