Bio
Firekites was formed by Tim McPhee & Rod Smith in 2005 as a lo-fi acoustic guitar project.

Later, friends were invited to play on songs that started with two guitars and ended up with a lot more. A record was made...written and recorded in a vacant dance-hall/bookstore called, The Bowery.

Firekites is now Pegs Adams, Ben Howe, Jason Tampake, Tim & Rod.

Keep up the awesome work!
