Fruit LoOops (Cincinnati/Chicago)
Fruit LoOops is an art-punk, no-wave dance band spread across Ohio and Chicago. Combining manic live and digital percussion, frazzled keyboards, unhinged vocals, and theatrical performance art, they have made a name for themselves by creating a live show experience you must see to believe.
The group formed when frontwoman Jackie Switzer had a nightmare about an open mic night involving contact mics, kitchen equipment, and peeling fruit. She then posted it to an online dream journal collective and some local musicians wanted to make it happen IRL.
Over the last eight years, the group has evolved into a psycho-pop dynamo. Taking influence from reality TV, car accidents, Possession, the supernatural, and Kate Bush, the band makes white-hot explosions of songs, and pairs them with performance art that can take the form of a “Wizard Infomercial”, a recreation of Titanic, or anything and everything in between.
They are currently promoting their untethered EP “Everything is Clear to Me Now” (Orange Milk Records) and finishing up their upcoming full length.
