Firekites - The Bowery (2008)

Link

Firekites is a Newcastle emerged collective revolving around the acoustic musings of four main players...Tim Mcphee (The Instant), Rod Smith, Jane Tyrrell (The Herd) & Jason Tampake (Josh Pyke). Plus for this recording various members of Pivot and Purplene were also involved. * With the production of indie impresario, Wayne Connolly, ten self-recorded tracks take their place on the Bowery. IF you can imagine a modern style cruel sea where pop songs and instrumentals were mixed to perfect effect. The album includes the single "Same Suburb, Different Park" which has been getting a flogging via Zan Rowe at JJJ and lots if play on FBI and RRR as well. * Firekites have supported Bill Callahan, Iron & wine and The Sea and Cake in the last couple of months and are playing the Spunk showcase shows in April before doing their own headline tour in May. * Firekites have reviews coming up in mess and noise and rolling stone and a feature in Yen magazine amongst others. Be prepared to fall in love with this record, it really is something special.
