Fischerspooner May 16, 2009

The electro-pop troupe known as Fischerspooner was formed in New York City in 1998. Originally a duo formed by classically trained musician Warren Fischer and video-artist and experimental theater performer Casey Spooner, the group now numbers around 20 performers -- mostly dancers and guest vocalists. The group uses the stage antics of David Bowie and traditional mainstream pop vocalists, along with campy electronics similar to Giorgio Moroder or Depeche Mode. As they rose to fame in downtown New York City art galleries and clubs, the single 'Emerge' topped European charts in 2000, leading to a six-song remix EP and their recent release, '#1.'
