Friendly Fires
Playing dance-oriented music with the feel of indie pop but the insistent pulse of disco, Friendly Fires hail from St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England. Featuring Ed Macfarlane on vocals and keyboards, Edd Gibson on guitar, and Jack Savidge on drums, all three members of Friendly Fires were in their early twenties when they began making a splash on the UK music scene in 2006.
After winning a following for their live work, they released their debut recording, an EP titled ‘Photobooth’, through the independent People In The Sky label near the end of 2006. The initial limited-edition pressing soon sold out, and demand for the record prompted a re-press by the time their second EP, ‘Cross The Line’, appeared in the summer of 2007.
The acclaimed indie label Moshi Moshi Records picked up Friendly Fires for their third release, the single ‘Paris’ b/w ‘Ex-Lover’ issued on October 12, 2007. Thanks to a stylish video directed by Price James and a number of enthusiastic reviews, ‘Paris’ became a hit, and the band landed a high-profile touring slot opening for Interpol on their UK tour. The rest is history!
