Fire Flies

Fire Flies 2002-2008 Met And Formed Their Groove-Sparked Pop Band In The Music Department At The SUNY Purchase. They Recorded Their First Release "Baobabs In The Basement " 2003 In Their Dorm Room Over The Course Of A Semester. Essentially Joyful And Buoyant BITB Serves Up Fire Flies' Response To Love And Betrayal In Cadences That Lift And Melodies That Soar While The Lyrics Melody And Groove Of Their Sophomore Album "Two New Sciences!" Recorded In Their Basement In Brooklyn And Released In June Of 2007 Has A Much Darker And More Raucous Desperation. A Four Piece Ensemble They Squeak Scream Sing And Cry Out With A Good-Humor And Unaffected Innocence That Despite Itself Engages And Infects The Psyche With A Super Modern Sound. Influenced By Artists Like The Flaming Lips And David Bowie The Group Describes Itself As A Blend Of The Two With A Hint Of Hip-Hop Added To The Mix. “Bowie Beatles Buzzcocks Byrds To All These 'B's' Add The Word 'beautiful'. Their Harmonies Are Resonant And Their Songs Filled With Effervescent Pop-Like Light Caught In A Bottle.” Says Lenny Kaye Guitarist Producer And Rock Anthologist. Unfortunately This Beauty Could Not Last. The Group Announced They Were Parting Ways On December 1 2008. read less
