Information About

Fischerspooner




Originally a duo formed by classically trained musician Warren Fischer and video-artist and experimental theater performer Casey Spooner for an impromptu rendition of their makeshift track "Indian Cab Driver" at the Astor Place Starbucks , the group grew to over 20 performers, most of which are dancers and guest vocalists. Their debut album, ''#1'', originally titled ''Best Album Ever'', has been released on several record labels, including International DJ Gigolo , Ministry Of Sound and Capitol Records . Eventually in 2001, they were covered by a tribute act, called "FISHYSPOON", lead by performance artist Casey Wilder (aka 20faces). In the final months of 2004 , Fischerspooner opened up their FS Studios in New York City to the public for a few hours once a week, allowing people to meet the band and production team, as well as preview new video, music and dance projects that they were working on.

In 2005 , ''Odyssey'', the band's second album, was released. The album featured more structured songs that weren't really Electroclash , but more accurately Electropop . The lead single, "Just Let Go", featured live drums and guitars, a very different sound than heard on their first album. The second single, "Never Win", went on to become the album's biggest hit, and was well received in both clubs and radio. "A Kick In The Teeth" was rumored to be the album's third, and possibly final, single.
