Details:
The debut full-lenth from Fort Worth''s The Theater Fire is an unique out-cropping in the landscape of Texas music. Carefully combining traditional country music influences with mariachi, folk, and blues-infused rock the band creates a complex and layered sound which is at the same time sparse and well-focused.
Forget all you know about "cowboy-chic", this is modern Texas music. The band are masterful storytellers weaving tales of gamblers, lonely travelers, and murdered children. This blends with the music to create a dusty, faded mood. Like strange dreamy desert landscapes the music passes slowly by.
The Theater Fire have grown into a mainstay in the North Texas music scene deserving of national attention. The band is composed of seven members who have played together in various incarnations since 200. With such a large ensemble one is left wondering how a band manages to create such balanced, focused, and engaging music with so many performers. Instrumentation includes a pawn-shop medley or acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, pedal steel, keyboards, trumpet, mandolin, accordion, xylophone, banjo, violin, lap steel, trombone, and various percussion.
So, when your ears are looking for something new. Something challenging. Something wonderful. The Theater Fire are there for you.
