The Frogs – in which the Flemion brothers surrounded themselves with a cast of some of the city's best musicians of the period – were one of Milwaukee's quirkiest and most influential (both here and beyond the city's borders) post-punk era bands, mixing humor, social issues and a lo-fi sound. yesterday, the Journal Times reported, Flemion's body was still not recovered. The search resumed Sunday and Monday but as of 4:30 p.m.
