Agent Cooper: Biography
Atlanta based Agent Cooper is a Southern Prog Rock band formed in 1998 from the remnants of Atlanta progressive rock bands Salem Ash and Rain.
With two albums to their credit released on ProgRock Records in the 2000′s, most of the band spent the decade recording and touring with Fozzy and Stuck Mojo. Most notably, the band was called together to record and tour Rich Ward’s major label solo release “The Duke: My Kung Fu Is Good”.
With industry forces frustrating “the band that could have been”, guitar instrumentalist Mike Martin was added as a permanent fixture in the Agent Cooper lineup to capitalize on and advance with “the band that is”.
Agent Cooper is Doug Busbee, Eric Frampton, Sean Delson, Mike Martin and Ganesh Giri Jaya.
Agent Cooper does it all. Except polka. Well, yeah, actually we do polka too.
“Listen Here! Agent Cooper! These guys sound hard rockin' with an intelligence bent. By that, I mean they seem like spies to me. I don't mean just any kind of spies either. I mean the kind that enters your head with their crazy mind control music and make you think you're having a great time. When, in fact, they are implanting thoughts that allow them to control you and will later activate you with a trigger word. Then, who knows what they'll get you to do. I'll ask them what they plan to do to you and let you know later. I'll find out when they're coming to town so you'll be able to go get brainwashed into their Hard Rock army or whatever!
They was here. They gone now! But keep watchin'. They might come back!
PS. I usually just change the tense on what I said about them before they came.”
