Summer Camp Artist #01: Backyard Tire Fire

Alright, well I’ve been promising for long enough, it’s about time I make good on that promise. BurningOak is going to feature every artist playing at Summer Camp 2006 before the big weekend, May 26-28. Our first artist? Backyard Tire Fire.

Backyard Tire Fire

Artist: Backyard Tire Fire (Site)
From: A number of places it seems, but they’re out of Illinois right now as far as I can tell.

Debut: Backyard Tire Fire (2003)

Great tunes, good music to kick back and have a beer to. I’ve got to get going to the Of Montreal concert, which I’ll report on tomorrow, but until then I’ll let the music speak for itself. Here’s Tire Fire performing live at Off Broadway in St. Louis, MO, on February 18th, 2006 (Archive.Org Link). I recommend “The Daze.” It’s a great song and a good quality recording.

    When I saw BTF last summer, they introduced the song you have marked “Unknown Title” as ‘Apparitions’… as well as absolutely rocked the house. Ed, Matt, and Tim put on a show that is not to be missed!

    Thanks a lot, I’ve been a fan of BTF since they came through Urbana in spring 2006, they put on a great show and their very appreciative of online support from sites like BurningOak and LiveMusicBlog.com.

    The copy of “Daze” from this show was featured in the first BurningOak podcast as well, which you can check out here:
