Blondfire is the Brazilian/American brother/sister duo of Bruce and Erica Driscoll. They began under the name Astaire, but due to legal threats from the Fred Astaire estate they were forced to change their name. The siblings write/record/produce all their own songs and make a refreshing, UK influenced sound that is at once catchy, original, and undeniably their own. Despite their polished, pop hooks, the duo is the true definition of Indie. They've literally done nearly everything independently:
* The song L-L-Love was the Free Single of the Week on iTunes, seeing nearly 300,000 downloads.
* Toured nationally with the bands Ivy, Stars, and Robbers on High Street.
* The first unsigned band to do an iTunes Exclusive EP and reach the number 1 spot.
* Major Motion Picture and TV licenses such as spots in: Monster In Law, I Think I Love My Wife, Mozart & The Whale, Bangkok Dangerous, VH1's Awesomely Oversexed, E!s Stranded With a Star, Dawson's Creek, and more.
* Had write-ups in the following publications: Entertainment Weekly, Under The Radar, America, YRB, The New Yorker, MSNBC, CMJ, and more.
* Their new single, Pretty Young Thing, was recently featured on the NIKE website alongside Hot Chip.
* Nic Harcourt as well as the other fine people at KCRW are currently playing, My Someday on the air. Tell KCRW you love blondfire: 310.450.5183
* Erica co-wrote Jessica Simpson's song B.O.Y. with Ric Ocasek and Wally Gagel.
* Bruce has co-produced or performed on songs featuring Brookville, James Iha, Gretchen Mol, members of Tahiti 80, and the Brazilian Girls.
My Someday, the new album is out now! Stay tuned and always remember "... All you need is 'L-L-Love'." - Entertainment Weekly

Bruce, great show with Brookville in Tucson last Saturday... I was standing in the front row on your side of the stage and it was hard NOT to notice your guitar work!
Erica and Bruce, I love your sound. It would be really cool to see you play live someday. My favorite song of yours is "Oxygen" (Key of Eb:Cm-Ab-Bb-Eb-G). I also love "Eyes of a Stranger" (Key of D: Bm-G-A-D) and "Pretty Young Thing" (Key of F#: F#-D#m-B-C#) Keep doing what your doing because you do a fantastic job ------------------------------------------- -----------------C----------------------- ------------F--------G------------------ ---------Bb------------D--------------- --------Eb---------------A------------- --------Ab--------------E-------------- -------------C#-------B--------------- ------------------F#-------------------- ------------------------------------------
