RICH: This was a melancholy day for me but a fiery night. With this show, Ben and I completed the NY phase of Fire&Flux. I say that we are done only with a “phase” because we plan to play again in the future, even though we now move to very different parts of the country. Ben and I played this show with everything we had. It felt to me like everything all wrapped up in one–our collective personal histories in HC/Punk, our newer, wiser selves, our telekinetic energy, 8 years of musical chemistry, and a deep understanding of the end of a good book you don’t want to finish. But there will be more pages later, when we get a chance to write them, to improvise a new chapter. Jordon Schranz from The Eastern Seaboard said of our last show: “It might have been the five cups of coffee but I think you’re playing last night definitely contributed to my wanting to smash a chair through the windshield of a police cruiser.” That’s precisely the feeling that Fire&Flux has always hoped to imbue.

Kite (Circuit-bent electronics). Great experimental set of one man and a tool box of electronics. Waves of sampled cassettes and atmospheric noises filled the room. Experience it here.
Act 3 (click to download)
One of our favorite shows. Their performance takes so many tangets and the music is just too good not to listen to. Have a listen.
