Early years

Rynne played rhythm guitar with Those Handsome Devils, a Dublin-based rockabilly band. In 1985 he formed The Baby Snakes, a rock'n'roll band strongly influenced by The New York Dolls and Alex Chilton. The Baby Snakes released an EP and two LPs, This City Sucks and Sweet Hunger, before moving to Brixton, London in 1988.

Their third and final LP was produced by Sex Pistols soundman and producer, Dave Goodman. In 1990, the band recruited drummer Nigel Preston, a founder member of The Cult. After Preston's death in 1992 Rynne began to work on projects related to Beat writer William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin.

Frank Rynne has produced several recordings on the Belgium-based Sub Rosa label of a group he claims is the real 'Master Musicians' from the village of Joujouka in Morocco. Rynne also runs a site for this Joujouka band, allegedly led by an Ahmed el-Attar.
