Freedom Fry

Freedom Fry is a Los Angeles, California based indie band, composed of Parisian-born Marie Seyrat and American Bruce Driscoll.

[14][15][16] Following a visit to the grave of Billy the Kid in Fort Sumner, NM, the duo began to conceptualize a wild west themed EP.

[17] In April 2012, they released the Outlaws EP, featuring two original songs and a cover of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's Bonnie and Clyde.

The handclaps, group vocals, and scream featured in the song were performed by the audiences at their Echo residency in Los Angeles as part of a crowd recording experiment.

[36] "Shaky Ground" was used in the official trailer for Locked Down, the 2021 Doug Liman film starring Anne Hathaway[37] and has also been featured in The Flash, Shameless, and God Friended Me.

[41] Freedom Fry's cover of "Man on Fire" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros was featured in the Super Bowl ad "A Giant Story" by Intuit.

[45][46][47] The album features notable performances from Stewart Cole of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and string arranger, Phillip Peterson.

[48] The band's marketing efforts for 'Classic' included a billboard on Melrose Avenue, flying an airplane banner above South by Southwest, and surprising the audience with Mariachis during their official SXSW showcase and at their album release show in Los Angeles.

[51] Their cover of Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz was used as the end credits song during the Season 1 finale of The Morning Show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

It was recorded on location at several iconic California destinations: Bungalow 87 of the Chateau Marmont, the Gypsy Rocks room of the Madonna Inn, Joshua Tree National Park, and Santa Catalina Island.

[59][60][61][62] In October 2022, Ralph Lauren used the duo's French-language cover of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talkin'" during his West Coast fashion show California Dreaming.

[63] In June 2022 Apple TV+ released the live-action animated hybrid family series, Lovely Little Farm, with original songs and score provided by Freedom Fry.
