    Fitzgerald's presents Free Radicals CD Release Party. With Samba Soul. Plus Soular Grooves Collective.Also featuring: members of Havikoro and members of H.I.S.D. Celebrate the release of the 4th Free Radicals CD The Freedom Fence.

    Free Radicals is an American jazz, funk, hip-hop, avant-garde, ska, reggae, African music, Indian music, punk, klezmer, polka and latin jazz group based in Houston, Texas. Drummer Nick Cooper founded the group in 1996, with a goal of specializing in improvised music.

    In 2000, The New Yorker wrote "The horn-heavy, continually evolving collective Free Radicals produces a wildly eclectic fusion that has as many influences as there are items in the Houston, Texas, pawnshop in which they honed their sound during all-night jam sessions." In 2010, Dawn (newspaper) wrote that the artwork and message about underwater oil-leaks, oil-wars, and bank-crashes on the band's first CD was like a "premonition waiting to become true."

    Free Radicals' live band includes six or seven members. On recordings Free Radicals invites a group of 50 or more musicians and vocalists into the studio.

    Free Radicals performs many concerts, marches and fund-raisers for anti-authoritarian and radical groups like food not bombs, peace festivals, and charities events including a continuous 24-hour concert in November 1999 to raise money for Kid Care, a health program for children. They have protested against Halliburton, and participated in marches for immigrants' rights and for a Houston janitor's union.
