Frank Rogala

Frank Rogala is an American singer, songwriter, recording producer, and computer technician who often works on music remixes. He was born in Michigan but has lived in Anaheim, California, since the early 1980s. From 1980 to 1990 he was the lead singer in a pop-rock synth band, Exude, which had a novelty hit, "Boys Just Want to Have Sex," a spoof on "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Two of Exude's vid…eos, "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "Safe With You" were shown on MTV. In 1990, Rogala and his bandmates revamped Exude into NC-17, with a grungier sound influenced by Pink Floyd. Filmmaker Dov Kelemer chronicled the band's struggles in "Won't Anybody Listen," which played on cable, at several film festivals, and at a few theaters. It was submitted for consideration in the documentary category for the 2001 Oscars but was not nominated. NC-17 became inactive in the early 2000s. Rogala released a solo CD, "Crimes Against Nature," in which he sang women's songs without changing the lyrics. He currently divides his time between Anaheim, California, and Mackinaw City, Michigan.
