Produced and engineered by John Lyons (Yaphet Kotto, Bread and Circuits, Torches to Rome) Members were in bands that developed into a spree of diverse artists and fortes from Liars (Mute) out of Brooklyn to Call and Response (Emperor Norton) out of San Francisco. The Fire Next Time formed out of a need, a necessity to fill a void in Goleta, California where three of the four members resided at the time. They came together with an array of musical diversity. Andres Fraire, who recently finished off his indie-pop band Kimonos, that spurred into what is now Call and Response (Emperor Norton), brought in some clever time signatured drumming, loud and crash-ey, similar to the styles of Sleepy Time Trio or Hal Al Shedad. Alex Pasternak's heavily influenced Shotmaker rhythms came through well in collaboration with Steve Aoki's interests in forming the heavy handed sound that comes out of The Fire Next Time. Mike(y) Ott of Sound Virus, and from previous band Viral Index, member from VI Aaron Hemphill who formed Liars, was busy playing Mohinder-like bass lines, fucked and fast... this came together to form the political and heavily charged atmosphere of The Fire Next Time. They toured up the west coast playing shows with Pretty Girls Make Graves, Soiled Doves, Planes Mistaken For Stars, and earlier with Books Lie. The Fire Next Time came and went with a fucking loud bang and with fucking loud fierce and moving songs. Inspired by James Baldwin, the band took on empowered political pretense all the way to the end. This here is their documentation. - Kita Sovee
