Fire Underground Go The Distance
A live set!! By Fire Underground!! On Tyranny Of Distance!!
It's happening on PBS this Tueday after 11am. Fire Underground are a local drums and guitar (and clarinet) two piece from Melbourne Town. They haven't been playing all that long, but they have earned a rather good live reputation and will be proving why when they enter PBS' Studio Five for a couple of songs this week on Tyranny Of Distance.
Here's more - you can find it all at this website
Fire Underground is a two-piece band currently living in Melbourne, however Daniel (guitar/vocals/clarinet) and Doyle (drums) both originally hail from the country growing up in Ballarat and Warragul respectively. They combine the unusual mix of acoustic melodic numbers, enthusiastic rock/punk riffs with electric guitars, and the use of a clarinet, to bring together a sound that can only be described as their own.
Drawing on influences like old school punk bands of the 70’s, swing music, modern acoustic acts and dirty rock and roll, Fire Underground have developed a style that is more than entertaining to watch live, is powerful but fun, and thoroughly danceable.
The genuine love for the music they play is blatant. Both vocalist/guitarist Daniel, and drummer Doyle put in such a performance on stage, making it clear to all watching just what their music means to them.
The band recently became a top 10 finalist in the punk category in 2003 at The Musicoz Awards, Australia's premier music awards for unsigned artists, and were finalists in the 2003 PBS FM song writing competition.
In the past year, FU have been developing their live skills playing in venues all across Melbourne with bands such as The Black Keys, The Pictures and The Cants.
In 2004 they release their debut EP - Chase Scene, and take their live show to Sydney and Brisbane mid year.
(to the tune of playschool)
There's guitar and drums
Clarinet as well
There's fun to be had.... and stories to telllll
Drop that frown
Come on down
