Founded by Norman Cook, who later went on to considerable commercial success as the producer/electronica artist Fatboy Slim, Freak Power were a British band steeped in the sounds of acid jazz, funk, and soul. Cook started the band after leaving the Housemartins and the similarly styled acid-house outfit Pizzaman, but gave Freak Power a groovier, old school vibe. In 1993 the group’s single, “Tune In, Turn On, Cop Out,” made headway on the U.K. charts, and was followed by the full-length albums DRIVE THRU BOOTY (’94) and MORE OF EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY (’96).
Around this time Cook began devoting time to his Fatboy Slim project, although a third Freak Power album, entitled TUNE IN, TURN ON, COP OUT, was released on Spectrum Records in 2000.
Members of Freak Power include, or have included, Fatboy Slim, Ashley Slater, Eddie Stevens, and Kate Cameron.
