Kingfishers Catch Fire are a Manchester based band, currently performing as a four-piece using synthesisers, guitar, bass, drums and vocals.
A recent review of the band performing at the collaborative night they're involved organising - Cabinet of Curiosities - from Manchester Music:
"As the night continues, so does the theatre and one act I’ve not encountered before are the splendid KINGFISHERS CATCH FIRE, a boy / girl / boy trio, who have the female on guitar, one smart looking fellow on keyboards and a singer who is both a poet, raconteur and emotionally flamboyant performer. Each nugget of a song was fitted out with retro-synth sounds and the twisted curl of a twangy but slightly distorted guitar – elaborate yet simple. This comes across with the delivery of Marc Almond (or at least the passion), as the bobbing digital beats mix in a light conversion of Electro Clash battling it out with an orchestral sci-fi ambition. This is an act I’d very much wish to encounter yet again."
