About Me

First things first. I'm not sure why I haven't put this up here earlier. I am not the band. I stay in "contact" with IA when I can. I say "contact" because I have never met him. We have only communicated through email. He is aware of the page and he gave me permission to put it up. However he does not check it. I would assume he is waaaaaaayyyyy to busy for a myspace page. Anyhoo. I am just a fan. I love Freak Kitchen. I'm just here to spread the word. Stay Freaky!!!
Freak Kitchen is a heavy metal, hard rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 1992. Their outstanding technique usually makes people refer to their style as somewhat of a progressive metal or progressive rock band. Nevertheless, the power trio makes music suitable for everyone, with perfect musicianship and excellent taste.Freak Kitchen's style of music is influenced by many genres besides the traditional heavy metal. Influences range all the way from jazz to pop, and the band described their third album as "A corny little heavy-pop-rock-latin-world-jazz-avant-garde-metal-blues-reco rd".Lyrics contain heavy criticism against society, and the band's distaste for huge record companies, and what they believe to be soulless people.Frontsman Eklundh is noted to be an excellent guitar player, and live shows often contains parts where Eklundh plays the guitar using several foreign objects, often a vibrating dildo. Eklundh has also released three solo albums, Sensually Primitive (1997) (under the pseudonym Mr. Libido), Freak Guitar (1999) and Freak Guitar - The Road Less Traveled (2004).Freak Kitchen have finished their sixth album, entitled Organic, which was released April 27, 2005.
