The Art of Rick Froberg on Sound and Vision February 4th

Sohrab Habibion joins Leslie on Sound and Vision Wednesday Feb. 4 to talk Plenty for All: The Art of Rick Froberg, the newly released publication of Rick’s artwork from the fine folks at Akashic Books. Sohrab Habibion, a New York–based musician and graphic designer, designed the book, and compiled it alongside Rich Jacobs. In 2005, he co-founded The Obits with Rick Froberg; over the next decade, the band toured internationally and released three albums on Sub Pop Records.

Rick Froberg (1968–2023) was an accomplished and well-regarded artist and musician born in Santa Monica, California. He spent his formative years drawing, painting, etching, and making music, ultimately playing in seminal bands in San Diego and New York such as Pitchfork, Drive like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and Obits. His life was tragically cut short at the age of fifty-five.
