For Fire!
Why this name?
We were called Undermined. After some research we discovered that we were one of the 1 billion Underminds out there....Our 1st show in a dive Bar in Yerington Nevada, we were booked for Fri and Sat night but, after Fri night we were fired because in the owner's opinion, we were too loud, didn't play any cover songs and didn' bring in enough poeple(Even for a small hick town that only likes covers anyway!) The owner obviously didn't listen to me or the CD I gave him and fired us anyway! So, Arrol drank a whole bottle of Absynth! And went on a rank about how we aren't for hire, we're for fire! And then from there on out our band was dubbed For Fire!
Do you play live?
Yes, anywhere.... My Mom says I special! I have special moments! I like special moments! YYYYYYeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Good and bad, Yes maybe, not really no! Yes no maybe so!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'm on Stainless Steel Records with Kris Barton's Machine Corpse I have other major label contacts but I really want to stay independent, unless they offer me some money to make a living on and a do-what-ever-I-want contract!
