Revision as of 19:00, 9 May 2020
The Fire Engines were a short-lived but influential Scottish band from 1981. David Henderson (Guitar, Vocals) / Russell Burn (Drums) / Graham Main (Bass) / Murray Slade (Guitar).
Henderson said of the early live shows:
- "We played to our strengths which were minimal, but somehow, as a band, it worked. We never played chords and Russell didn’t use cymbals or hi-hats. It was very violent although no-one got hurt. Pure aggression, attitude and hate was what it was."
Reformed in 2004 to support The Magic Band and collaborated with Franz Ferdinand for a single release. Henderson is now leading The Sexual Objects.
Links to Peel
Peel saw the band play live at the Embassy Club in London on 7th April 1981 [1]. Henderson went on to have further Peel sessions with Nectarine No. 9.
