  • Bio

    Flaming Fire is the twisted creation of Patrick Hambrecht, Midwestern son of a Baptist preacher. He imagined the group as an eerily masked Greek chorus, inspired not only by his religious upbringing, but his avid passion for comic books and creepy things that go bump in the night. Flaming Fire's weird and catchy songs, lively stage show, and unique costumes have helped gain them a strong fanbase at home in New York, and a growing fanbase throughout the nation. They've shared the stage with such acts as Services, The Blow, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Faun Fables, Peaches and Psychic TV. ..Flaming Fire's new album, "Holy, Holy, Holy - a converts guide to Flaming Fire" will be released on U.K. label Ex-Gratia Recordings. They have gained much press (NY Times, Chicago Tribune, The New Yorker) for their Illustrated Bible Project, a live salon and website project wherein they invite professional artists and laypeople to illustrate a verse of the Bible in whatever manner the artist sees fit. A night with Flaming Fire is a raucous, whiskey swilling, crowd pleasing blend of the wacky and the profound! ..If you’d like to be on our email list, drop Patrick a line: patrick[at]flamingfire.com. ..FOR BOOKING, CONTACT: Justina Flash at justinaflashfire[at]gmail.com or 425.443.9729 REVIEWS: .."The Brooklyn-based collective Flaming Fire is more like an evangelical church congregation than like a conventional rock group, with its leader, Patrick Hambrecht, in the role of preacher and the other members (including his wife, Kate) as his loyal followers. The group’s songs pair deceptively simple Residents-like riffs and occasional bursts of noise with fearsome, Biblical-sounding group chants and call-and-response singing. Most refreshing are Hambrecht’s seriousness and fervor. (The band’s sense of irony is limited to the darker variety--'Kill the Right People,' one refrain goes.)" -The New Yorker ..“Well, at least some of the kooks have stuck it out in New York City and they are in Flaming Fire, an awesomely kooky, theatrical band singing songs of biblical plagues and Egyptian sexual practices. Picture the Butthole Surfers, the Residents, the Manson Family, and the B-52s all running amok in a Kenneth Anger film.” -Meg Sneed, Vice ..“Can't accuse Flaming Fire of having a dull stage show--they've got the costumes, the bombast, the eye-grabbing frontpeople, the general sense of performance spectacle. They've also got the songs: unnerving, arty, freaky anthems about mortality, divinity, and leopard ninja people with plastic wings, sort of the avant-garde 'Bat out of Hell.'” -Douglas Wolk, Village Voice
