Frank Tonche was the original drummer for The Minutemen. When the band was formed by D. Boon and Mike Watt after their first serious attempt at a band, The Reactionaries, fell apart, they had originally wanted their friend and fellow ex-Reactionaries drummer George Hurley to hold the drum seat, but he had joined a new wave band named Hey Taxi! after the Reactionaries split, so he was unavailable. Tonche, a welder by day (and according to some reports, had been in a polka band named The Polish Eagle Polka Band at one point), was recruited instead.

  • Frank Tonche was the original drummer for The Minutemen. When the band was formed by D. Boon and Mike Watt after their first serious attempt at a band, The Reactionaries, fell apart, they had originally wanted their friend and fellow ex-Reactionaries drummer George Hurley to hold the drum seat, but he had joined a new wave band named Hey Taxi! after the Reactionaries split, so he was unavailable. Tonche, a welder by day (and according to some reports, had been in a polka band named The Polish Eagle Polka Band at one point), was recruited instead. Tonche's tenure lasted about six months, long enough to help arrange some early Minutemen songs and play a few early performances, but Tonche quickly tired of the aggressiveness of punk audiences and quit in June 1980. By that time, Hurley was free to join the Minutemen. In 1987, Forced Exposure released a 7" EP featuring rehearsal recordings of the Minutemen with Tonche on drums. The EP, authorized by Mike Watt and titled Georgeless, had a limited pressing but is now available for free download (also with Watt's full consent) at corndogs.org. (en)

Tonche, zatrudniony ówcześnie jako spawacz i grający amatorsko w zespole The Polish Eagle Polka Band, został przyjęty w zastępstwie. Pobyt Tonche w zespole trwał ok. sześć miesięcy, podczas których nagrał z zespołem kilka pierwszych utworów i zagrał kilka kameralnych koncertów. Odszedł z formacji w czerwcu 1980 swój wybór argumentując rozczarowaniem i zmęczeniem "agresywnym stylem bycia" fanów muzyki punk. Do zespołu dołączył Hurley, który wraz z zespołem już 20 lipca 1980 nagrał EP Paranoid Time. W 1993 wytwórnia wydała EP Georgeless, jedyne nagranie zachowane z okresu pobytu Tonche w zespole. (pl)
