Bio
Junk Poet was conceived in Ames Iowa in 1994 when brothers Jay (guitar) & Rich (drums) Lyon and bassist Joel Grau hooked up with singer Jon "Fu" Fullerton. The band found their groove in writing right away and recorded their first album with Cellar Records in Dixon Illinois later that year. The album, entitled "Junkpoet", was released in early 1995. They played regionally as much as possible supporting the album while constantly writing new material. Recording of the second album, "Chicken? All You Can Eat!" began in January of 1996 in the personal studio of Brian Vance, a friend and supporter of the band. The new studio environment allowed for more control and convenience being located much closer to home. The band released the album on their own on August 17 of 1996 with a big beach party with a handful of local bands/friends opening the show including other Des Moines bands you've undoubtedly heard of. A couple months later, Rich left the band and quit playing all together. He was replaced by Paul Thompson for most of a year, until the summer of 2007 when Greg Stravers took over. In 1998, Matt Biegger briefly replaced Fu until the band split up completely that fall. In 2008 the original four members got together again after over a decade apart, and seemingly picked up right where they left off... writing Junk Poet music and playing their first show after reforming to a sold-out crowd on September 20, 2008. The live recording "Junk Poet Live" was released in the fall of 2010 after a couple years of shows and writing and recording of their third studio album "Resurrection." ...................... -
