2 Firedaze albums for 2012?
We're bringing out a new version of "Triality" (we've still got a few copies left of the original version so they will still be available until the new one is released). The new version will include tracks that were not on the album when it was first released. Then a little later in the year we plan to release our second album - which doesn't have a title yet. We're also plannming a new look website and offering a chance for you to join our mailing list which will give you exclusive access to free downloads and videos. Check back to this page for updates on the albums and other new stuff

New songs.... we've got a whole load of 'em!
We've been busy writing new songs and arranging and re-arranging the songs that we've been working on for a while. One new song that we just been working on sees String's new 5 string bass really coming into its own - its just goes so much lower! And you can never have too much bass - or so he says. It's early days with this one but were hoping it'll make onto the new album!

The new songs mean we're finally well on the way to finishing our second album which we hope to have out later this year. We seem to be producing a more stripped down sound with songs that we can go and play anywhere without always having to cart along a transit van load of amps, speakers etc.
There are some new(ish) songs on our MySpace page but it's been pointed out that we don't have any new stuff on this site. So now we do!

Live video
A while ago we spent a morning shooting new film during rehearsals at D Music Studios, to integrate with the live footage from a Queen's Hall gig from a while back. We created a video for 'MyTurn'. It's on our video page here, and also on YouTube. We hope to do some more filming in the near future and get some videos up of the new songs - watch this space!

Back to Triality

After experimenting with other musicians Firedaze is currently back playing as a three-piece with the line up Steff, Jen and String: which was the line up on the last album - Triality - but this time with added foot percussion!

Triality News!

Triality

The first full-length Firedaze album is still available to buy. "Triality" features a mix of new songs and some more familiar material. Additionally there are new arrangements of a couple of songs previously recorded with different band line ups and we've included our own take on the classic "Fever". For more, audio clips of all the tracks and a free download go to the Triality page. Please note there is a new release of Triality - featuring new tracks - set for release in Spring 2012.

"Triality" is available for sale and you can buy right now from our label D-Music.

The album was reviewed in Rock'n'Reel (now called R2 magazine) as a "blend of choppy bass-driven rockers, folk-style harmonies, bright, melodic fiddle and a New Wave rock edge." That sounds about right.

Folkwords also reviewed the album, in March 2008. "Firedaze are not easy to forget, hear them once and that thumping throbbing drum sequence and bass drive, enriched with rocky folk-fiddle groove will stay in your head..." You can read the full review on www.folkwords.com

Past Festivals Firedaze have played at:
Cheltenham Fringe Festival, Off the Tracks festival, Leamington Peace Festival, Earlsdon Festival, Riverside Festival(Stamford), Kenilworth Festival , Ufton Arts Festival, Folk Moot Festival (Donnington Le Heath)

One of the best value for money bands I have ever booked in all my 40 years as a publican"

Other FIRECDs

See Music page for details of all products. We're working on a new album for 2012. But basically at the moment, in addition to Triality, we have:

2007 demo CD, "Cheers". This features some of the tracks that appear on Triality, including Cheers, Will - a song that was first recorded by Steff and String's previous band, Dead After Dark. The new arrangement is altogether different and has plenty of room for "Cadenza Jen" to display her prowess on the fiddle

"Coming Home", released a couple of years ago and is the first CD to feature Jen on fiddle. This was an e.p. that featured a new version of End of the Light, plus previously unreleased tracks Coming Home and Too Smart, Too Soon. It was followed by "If Not Now When" which featured a new recording of If Not Now When, End of the Light and a cover of Fever.

"Labyrinthinitis", CD e.p. Contains four tracks (My Turn, If Not Now When, Gaia 2000 Re-Mix, and Fighting For Strangers)

"The Road", a CD e.p. of remixes of this Firedaze track.

"Firedaze", the original CD e.p.

The original promotional CD, called "My Turn", contains four tracks (End of the Light, My Turn, If Not Now When, and You Are). This was intended for gigs and reviews only, but is now available for retail.

FIREINTRO
It was in 2006 that Firedaze finally emerged as a gigging three piece. The band went into the studio to record the Triality album at the end of 2007. In 2008 the Firedaze line-up expanded to a 4 piece but in 2009 the band went back to playing as a three-piece.
Firedaze play "Folk, Rock and Rhythms you can dance to - the traditional music of the twenty-first century". Basically rock guitars, folky fiddle, bass, foot percussion and driving beats all with Steff's distinctive and strong vocals over the top and a healthy dollop of backing vocal harmonies throughout.

In terms of personnel, Steff is on vocals and guitar, bass and foot percussion, String is on bass, guitar, looped drum patterns and backing vocals, Jen provides fiddle and backing vocals.

The members of Firedaze come from a variety of musical backgrounds, but all have a keen interest in rock, folk and roots music. They love making music that is contemporary, relevant and above all fun. They also love playing live music that you can dance to and enjoy.

Firedaze have taken the energy of Roots Rock, added infectious folky tunes on fiddle and electric guitar, layered the vocals, and then mixed it all with dance rhythms. The resulting sound is ever-changing, ever-fresh, and guaranteed to make you want to dance. If the fiddle and guitar don't get you, the rhythm will.

This is Firedaze.

Now you can buy the entire Firedaze catalogue on-line, through our label D-Music.

The latest CD e.p. is always available free to any interested venues, festivals etc - just e-mail us with details, and we'll send you a copy.
