The Fiery Furnaces

The Fiery Furnaces
Take a little dance, infuse it with some edgy rock, fiery vocals, fantastic organ riffs, killer baselines and sprinkle all over with hypnotic tranced out raw rock and roll and you get indie rockers “The Fiery Furnaces.”

The Fiery Furnaces were launched in Brooklyn, New York City in 2000. They are driven by super hip siblings Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger. The brother-sister duo, along with bassist Jason Loewenstein and drummer Bob D'Amico, who replaced former bassist Toshi Yano and drummer Andy Knowles are armed with an arsenal of far-out groovy tunes that echo back to the era of 60’s garage rock. But, this band has been taking good notes in a new school of pure, unsolicited rock and roll from present day rockers who are defining a re-birth of classic rock.

Mathew Friedberger captains the keyboards, which playfully launch you into brand new cosmic heights and ride around and around in such a funky ass way, you swear you just stepped back into a psychedelic 1970’s discotheque at the stroke of midnight on a Saturday eve. It’s that hot.

Eleanor Friedberger parades the stage in throwback 60’s vintage threads belting out fiery vocals over cosmic, downright mischievous rock riffs. Her strong vocals swirl with melodious vengeance from cavernous organic depths steeped in dance hall heavy beats and wondrous sound. It’s a beautiful voice from a beautiful girl in a beautiful band. These cats are some of the funkiest felines slinking around the music scene downtown.

Have a listen. Have a cocktail. Throw on some funky pants. The Fiery Furnaces will be sure to make you want to dance. Check out this noteworthy performance from the Paradiso Rock Club in Amsterdam.
