Fyrefly are Miche (vocals), Jimi (drums), Blue (guitars), Sooz (bass) & Sam (guitars) and are based in North London, UK. They came together with incredibly diverse tastes and influences in music. Miche, Jimi & Blue have been playing together for ten years in several bands until deciding they were ready to explore and merge their musical differences. The years of hard graft, learning their trade, some intense song-writing and several months recording have produced ‘Boho Sheep’ – an awesome self-penned, self-produced eclectic collection of songs that will take you on a journey through the joy and despair of life, love, passion and heartache.
At the core of their influences are Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Queen, The Small Faces & Pink Floyd but these influences are brought to a modern level with the fusion of tribal and ethnic rhythms, contemporary vocals and production techniques. ‘You’ opens the album with a beautiful and yet chilling statement of how love can affect you. From there you are taken through the pain of ‘Emissary’ to the roller-coaster ride that is ‘I Don’t Know.’ The ride continues into the immense ‘Living In Your Shadow.’ From there ‘Me Oh My’ will screw with your head while ‘Prime Dream’ and ‘You Say’ just keep you wondering where things will go next. And here you arrive at ‘Stain’ – an awesome 7’30” epic the scale of which has not been heard since Pink Floyd’s ‘Comfortably Numb.’ Stain’ will grab you by the throat and choke you with a vocal that makes you cry and a guitar solo that will just leave you floored. ‘Stain’ reached No 1 in the KIAC Big 50 chart in March this year – a testament to its future status as a classic.
The addition of new members Sam and Sooz has given Fyrefly the platform to take their eclectic album and release it live onto an unsuspecting audience – the reaction has been astonishing and there is no doubt that live these guys must be seen to be believed. Most recently the band have been playing major festivals like , Rythm of the World and other big Indie stages during the hectic summer months in the UK. A regular feature of the downtown Soho and Brighton scene the band continue to build a legion of fans across the globe and already have a more than strong foot hold in the Australian market with 1,000's of fans eager to see the band perform live in 2008.
