you can never escape
you can only move north up the coast

more a parliament than a band. more a religious fast than an indulgent feast. more like a hundred-meter full-body licking from the tongue o' fire...

marginal students of physics, music, theatre, and love: UNITE!!!

the collected musical works of fireball form a hard-to-stomach 16-cd firebox set... mostly lo-fi recordings.

NEW FOR 2009:
the high road in hard times

PREVIOUSLY:
Live From Chena giggy lo-fi live recording full of banter and blemish
Bringing It... the eclectic studio album featuring "Carmen the Kebab Girl" and 19 other songs.

FAWM 08 ~~~ Aniak Trains
FAWM 07 ººº Headwaters

Guten Tag Herr Feuerball!

I just listened to some of your new songs here on Myspace and I really have to admit that I like them! Especially the "economic turndown" is great!

By the way, you are getting famous here in Germany as well! The CDs you gave to me are running a lot in our living community kitchen and some friends already asked for copies. Maybe you should plan a tour through Germany soon?! :-)

Winke-winke aus Deutschland,

Kai

I was VERY disappointed to learn that 3 is not a magic number. Why would you lead me astray like that?
