Details:
Fast Food Orchestra were formed between 1994-96. They made their first release in 2000 - a cassette only album called "Fugison Party" through Emergency Records. This record was a turning point for the direction of the band, slowly changing into a more traditional ska sound.

They have started to regulary appear on the most of the Czech summer festivals and play lots of shows in Germany, Slovakia and Switzerland. They have shared the stage with such a bands so as Yellow Umbrella, Panteon Rococo, the Pilfers, the Selecter, the Toasters, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble, Persiana Jones, Polemic, Elvis Jackson and the Slackers. One of their biggest acheivements was on direct support for the Skatalites German tour in Dresden 2002.

The band released their second album ...lastfood? on Jahquita Records in spring 2002. Met with a great success and solidified the Fast Food Orchestra sound and style.
The band has since worked with the best Czech toaster Dr. Kary who has appeared alongside New York Ska Jazz Ensemble and Panteon Rococo, since then he is a regular fixture on the bands live shows and even took part on this current release. "Mangrooves" has even more traditional sound which is close to rocksteady but also has unbelievebly groovy dancing rhythms with a taste of dancehall and ragga. Fast Food Orchestra are well known for their unforgetable and entertaining live performances which usually end up as a big party!
