Fruit Bats were formed in 1999 by Guitarist , Pianist and singer Eric Johnson, the band's main songwriter and only constant member. Originally part of short-lived Chicago group I Rowboat, Johnson and two of his fellow Rowboat members, guitarist Dan Strack and Drummer Brian Belval, created Fruit Bats as a side-project.
