Influences
& as for the influences to which FIRE&THEFT tip their fez'z, please count Carmen Miranda, Louis Jordan, Dean Martin, Brian Griffin, Michael Buble-Pippe, Carl Orff, Kylie and Bizet among their number.
Made with the double cream of Circus Oz, Prayerbabies, Checkerboard Lounge and a sweetened, condensed ilk, the debonaire-headed FIRE&THEFT whip sound til it's a swaying suede sensurround scene.
Ribald and Racy Rhythms!
Luxurious Latin'n'Lounge!
The reoriginal 40's & 50's nightclub versions of “Love Cats” (Cure) ,
“Addicted to Love”(Robert Palmer), “ No-one Knows” (Queens of the Stone Age), “Mr. Brightside” (the Killers) and “Seguro Sabe Algo” (revived by Kiss as “Sure Know Something”) sit just so, amidst the bona fide swing tunes and self-penned pearls.
Other artists who have enjoyed success with their own renditions from FIRE&THEFT's pleasure trove of golden fried hits include the Eurythmics, Vince Jones, Led Zepplin, Louis Jordan, the Who, Mose Allison, Michael Buble, Brian Griffin, Dean Martin, Shirley Bassey & Bizet -
... but, be warned; the wanton Moroccan rolling of FIRE&THEFT was scientrifficly designed to release your inner swing burglar; the one your sense of dancin'rrRRroMAnce has been shyly guarding against for all too long...
