Firedaze have "a willingness to surprise and step outside the box musically". Triality, the debut album is a "blend of choppy bass-driven rockers, folk-style harmonies, bright, melodic fiddle and a New Wave rock edge." (Rock'n'Reel magazine, January 2008).

"Firedaze recognise no boundaries of definition and clearly benefit from that view. ... hear them once and that thumping throbbing drum sequence and bass drive, enriched with rocky folk-fiddle groove will stay in your head. It’s music for dancing, music for dreaming - ... Firedaze take multiple musical threads to create a tapestry of 21st Century folk." (www.folkwords.com, March 2008)

   About Firedaze

LATEST NEWS:Firedaze's recent performance at The Queens Hall, Nuneaton was filmed. See below for the first edited video - more videos from the gig will be posted here soon.

..

Firedaze CD Triality is still available at a special low price at Head in Leamington Spa. Firedaze are offering the CD at a reduced rate for fans in their home town. It's even cheaper in-store at Head than on-line - £9 for 11 tracks. Bargain.

Firedaze plays original music that fuses folk, rock and dance rhythms. After spending much of last year recording their first album the band are now really enjoying doing much more of their first love which is playing live.

Here's the Firedaze story so far......

Firedaze was originally formed when two former members of UK roots rock band Dead After Dark planned to take their music in a new direction - Firedaze was the result.

The main song-writers of Dead After Dark , Steff and String, naturally became the main song-writers for Firedaze.

Over a number of years tthe band played many gigs in the UK, with varying line ups. String switched from bass to electric guitar and they were joined onstage by other musicians, including Emma on fiddle, and d.j. Paul Morrell, on decks.

The band took a short break from live work in order to finish their debut album - called Triality. Emma had been replaced by new fiddle player Jen and String had returned to his first love of the bass guitar. Steff remained on lead vocals and guitar.

In early 2008 there was a further line up change with the introduction of bodhran player Steve. Live dates now see Firedaze on stage with catchy fiddle melodies, strong vocal performances and driving bass and drum track overlaid with the insistent rhythm of the bodhran. Some songs from Triality have been re-recorded with Steve's bohdran and are posted on this page. The resulting sound is still-changing, ever-fresh, and guaranteed to make you want to dance. If the fiddle and guitar don't get you, the bass, bodhran and drums certainly will.

Ghosttown Promotions & Tin Angel Records Presents...

This Thursday 18th September
BLACK CARROT: Exclusive Album Launch
Support from DEAD COWBOY CULTURE
@ The Tin Angel Record Shop, Spon Street CV1 3AX
Doors 8pm ~ late



Black Carrot (Market Harborough) are a vibrant quintet who perform new-wave krautrock jazz madness that oozes rock with a psychotic edge. Fierce and abstract yet serving the concept of the song, their unique sound nods towards Beefheart and Pere Ubu but is shot through with flavours of New York jazz skronk, and the loosest, funkiest Krautrock.


"Black Carrot are truly inspired musicians" - Jean Hervé Peron/Faust
Black Carrot release their second studio album "Drink The Black Forest" on Tin Angel Records on 3rd November 2008. To support the release initially they will be playing UK tour support for Baby Dee throughout late November early December in addition to their own headline shows in the Midlands and London.

Thank you - the weather held off and the light show purchased from Hawkins Bazaar was spectacular (a flashing finger ring)- the 27 people who chose Huffystock above Covstock had a great time - no arrests. A wonderful 22 minute festival for all. Good luck.
