(Amsterdam, 1982–1985)

Meaning Bandname: A burnt-out chip shop along a Belgian highway with the “Friterie Moderne” sign as the only remaining intact attribute was the corny inspiration for the group’s name.

Bio: Were called Duphar but changed their bandname after a while. Lyrics are in Dutch. Do their first gig in January 1982 and record 2 songs for the Als Je Haar Maar Goed Zit compilation in March 1982. The songs for the 6Met tape were recorded as a tryout for the new 8 track in the Oktopus venue in March 1983. All of their recorded material has been re-released. Continue as Frenz Fried & The Frimo’s with a singer and play a quite different style.
