Get Into The Fiery Furnaces
Jan 16, 2008
There is a lot going on in the Buffalo music scene to get excited about. The first being, the bands here are uber progressive in their techniques and stage presence. The second being, the venues are always on board for promoting garage and basement bands – be it that they’re actually talented or just having fun on stage. Following suit, the Tralf Music Hall, normally known for booking safe Indie show, has extended an invite to The Fiery Furnaces.
The Fiery Furnaces are consistently transcendent and energetic and I believe that they will draw more than the typical early 20’s crowd to the Buffalo venue. The endless arsenal of experimental sounds delicately balanced with melody calls for an audience of mature and engaged listeners. This may also be a show for the up and coming bands of Buffalo to attend themselves, for insight and inspiration. “The Fiery Furnaces have challenged the notion of what makes a song, weaving aural fragments into ten-minute-long opuses that take any number of melodic turns.” – As stated on Thrill jockey Record Review.
Too often it is that bands settle on a distinctive sound once they have become “known” but applaud goes to The Fiery Furnaces who continually re-engineer their sound while plugging in some established habits at selected intervals. The members seem to be so at ease on stage that, at a certain discrepancy, they will improvise a chord or two and deconstruct a familiar sound in order to sate the audience with a song anew.
I would care to leave The Fiery Furnaces genre-less because at some points they have scintillating pop lyrics meshed in between thunderous musical storms and then transition bluesy guitar stabs. They tend to clash instruments and pin one style against another leaving the listener clambering for an explanation.
The tour has been under way for a few weeks and the band has had the opportunity to warm their musical muscles before taking stage here in our City. Buy a ticket and we’ll meet you there, Tuesday, January 22.
