Jumping on the indiediscobandwagon, Friendly Firesare a UK trio consisting of Ed Macfarlane, Jack Savidge and Edd Gibson. Friendly Fires began as a post-hardcore band called First Day Back and eventually became what they are today after University: churning out “lush shoegaze melodies and classic pop songs”
After Cut Copy, Van She, the Rapture and countless many other indiediscobands, I would like to think that the birth of the Ting Tings sounded the death knell for this genre (sorry lah, I’m not that big a fan of them). BUT luckily for you and I, Friendly Fires brings a breath of fresh air to the table. Tracks from their first self-titled album like “Skeleton Boy”and“Jump in the Pool”come with really catchy choruses and groovy disco basslines. Good for that Friday night pre-party boogie drive (oops. no drinking and driving ah! *waves finger to warn*)
So, without further a-do, give ‘em a listen and let their music do the talking!

This Saturday is our first party of 2009 at The Art Bar, The Butter Factory. We all thought that last month’s party would be our last one until Butter moves to the new outlet next month, but the club has managed to snag an additional month at The Robertson Quay outlet. I’m not complaining, cos that just means more parties!
