"This multi-member groove ensemble sounds like Steely Dan jamming with the Marshall Tucker Band on acid."
"They put so much time and effort into all their music that it is simply some of the best produced material you will hear."
"It is obvious that this is a polished band with a kaleidoscopic musical view. Psychedelia, folk blues, and country merge with a world beat flair for extremely pleasing results."
"This self-titled debut brings to the table a wonderful mix of original material & Thomas Jefferson Kaye covers. Exceptional re-workings of "Hoe Bus", "Thanks For Nothing", and "Collection Box" demonstrate the bands commitment to uphold the Kaye legacy, while original cuts show the depth of talent within the band. From "Jesse Jane" & "Bus Stop" to "Beaten Path 2" (Featuring Derek Trucks on slide guitar) Stir Fried delivers a bold musical punch, placing the band deep in the trenches of American Rock & Roll. Featuring Pedal Steel guru Buddy Cage (Grateful Dead, Rick James, The Band) this is a debut offering not to be missed."
"They are first and foremost a many legged groove machine, sambaing and sauntering around a collection of feel-good tunes. The kind of music that works well in small intimate hot clubs, but even better in open field festivals as the sun shines and the wine pores...(Electrified is) one of the best live recordings it has ever been my pleasure to listen to...A well constructed live album that balances the experimental with the familiar, to produce a CD that should find its way into the collections of a lot of people who love music.
"Overall, the experience of Stir Fried's members comes through in the give-and-take of each jam so that no one player is overshadowed. The folk and bluegrass roots of the band are prominent in a very interesting cover of the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards song "Dead Flowers... The most honest reaction I had while listening to Stir Fried's Electrafried was that I couldn't believe I hadn't heard them before."
"Stir Fried is not about tunes but orchestral tales that will sweep you into a story with unpredictable musical conversations. Rather than assault you with the architecture of noise, as is the current deconstructive rage, Stir Fried slyly envelopes the listener into a provocative continuum the destination of which is delightfully unknown but a deliriously entertaining critical mass."
