As Artimus grew older, he started playing in different bands including his first serious endeavor Fry Cook.

Their first show was as a ing act for Gwar. Several successful shows were played and an EP was recorded, but after the other quit to pursue the family life, Artimus had to devise a new plan. He went on to write and perform as a one man band with random musicians ing him over the years.
