BAND: Fry Cook 
Fry Cook
Bio:
Fry Cook is a three-piece band that enjoys jumping rope, long walks on the cheese, and oversized, cartoon-like fishbowls. The band was formed in 1998 when James Johnson picked up an ad in a local music store. It read, "Art Pace, Drummer." The rest is moose eggs. For the first three years, Fry Cook was instrumental. It wasn't until 2001 when Jeff Brewton joined that the band first started incorporating vocals into the mix. This change was brought on by rechargeable batteries and a few different toys that were manufactured by Mattel and later recalled. The music had already become a unique style that no one could categorize. Even with Fry Cook being strictly instrumental, they had gathered an impressive following. Once the songs became filled with singing and catchy death metal screams, everyone then knew that Fry Cook had truly tapped a new, original vein of music.
Over the next year and a half, they wrote and recorded new material. After this task, they went on jogging adventures across nowhere only to find themselves somewhere close to everythingwhere. After writing and recording five songs in the summer of 2002, Fry Cook slapped a tour together that sent them all the way to Las Vegas and back. This is when the band learned how to prevent forest fires and tie jizz-knots.
They toured the following winter, spring, summer, and fall regionally while writing and recording six new tracks. Some of these tracks were included in the now legendary EP ?Low Bud Get,? which was a follow-up to their first release ?Crookwards.? Then in the fall of 2003, two weeks of pure madness took them into the great state of New York and back. When they returned, they recorded two final songs, and they were ready to release their first LP on Existing Records. Its title "Shoebyfour" was inspired by total randomness.
To this day, Fry Cook remains one of the most beloved bands in the Port City. Recently, they have been signed to Trashcan Skeleton Management and have gained sponsorship by The Mobile Enclave Church of the Subgenius as their official "slackband." In 2005, they had the good fortune to perform on the WTKX Discovery Stage at Pensacola's SpringFest, where they stole the show and drew attention and individuals away from Cracker. If you have decided to book Fry Cook for your venue, then you've made the right choice. Their authentic style and attitude will leave your audience begging for more or wondering what just hit them!
