Influences
  • Buckminster Fuller paints the room silver so there are no shodows.
  • Robert Johnson - the Djinns where the two roads cross need a sacrifice, hunted by Diana's hounds and poisoned by a normal jealous human.
  • A red rubber glove floating in the flotsam of the river.
  • Sonic Youth's idiot savant guitars.
  • Jan Svankmajer's dissected dolls boiling in pot of fizzing soap and strangled by cardboard plants.
  • John Cale's violin drone like a plume of blood through water.
  • Sexually gratutious accounts of the occult, and trashy, illustraited, real murder books.
  • Imagining the lives of packs of little plastic hornby train people.
  • A giant evil head inside an average head.
  • Head - a new dimension in madness - 'you don't understand mannn, this is my third band!'
  • Chris Marker shows memory as a set of stills that speed up to moving at moments of emotional intensity
  • Dumb freudian symbolism
  • Davy Graham, Bert Jansc, John Renbourn, Leadbelly and other folk guitar players
  • Van Gogh painted green like a monster warped from self loathing and jealousy, and vanity - painting himself
  • Steve Albini's downtuned axe
  • Fucking about with effects pedals and stuff
  • Wang Wei - 'This screen of yours unfolded, against that wild courtyard, can show you hills and springs, uncontrived with paint.
  • Fatalistic anti heros from folk like Beckett, Dostoyevsky, kafka.
  • On a rabbit hair in a glass case grows the first man made snow crystal.
  • Diamond encrusted skulls, skyscrapers, little plastic skeletons, dream sequences other stuff like that.

   About Hell Fire Club

From a place in a river valley near a volcano called Slemish where revolutionary armies camped in 1798 on the fringe of a forest supposedly haunted by mesolithic ghosts, we used to cycle up there as kids, now we rock out angrily and fuck about with fuzz pedals and stuff in a town called Belfast:



Described as "somewhere between Sonic Youth and Jonny Cash" by AU and by Francis Jones as "Combining Backwoods Blues and raucous Rock and Roll to create a brilliantly unwholesome, down and dirty cacophony. On this evidence the Devil really has got the best tunes". We've been compared to the Archie Bronson Outfit, Robert Johnson, Kyuss, Clutch, Slint, Steve Albini, the Black Keys, and other stuff like that, and we've shared stages with Black Rebel Motorcyle Club and Howlin Rain.






FOR SALE - Used USB Keys
Extended play, produced by Ben McAuley, £5, independent, very limited edition, extremely noizy, unimaginabily heavy, USB Key release.

This will be our final gig, and what better way to go out than sharing a stage with two of our favourite bands? Thanks to all the people we've worked and played with over the last few years; we hope we've turned some frowns upside down...we've certainly had so much fun it probably should've been illegal! I think it could be summed up best by one of the great thinkers of our time, Mr Vinnie Jones: "It's been emotional..."
