Futon Fire

Futon Fire was invented on the 1st of January 2005, probably the best date in the history of dates.

The band is the love child of Ian Dickson (guitar, drums, keyboards, party magician) and David Gundry (guitar, lack of input, Half Life 2, Andrew Lloyd Webber). Who both decided that there aren't enough bands in the world.

It is the bands devotion to making music that drives the band, and their love of easy girls who think it's cool to sleep with people in bands.

Ian has been playing the guitar since he was a phoetus, and was born clutching a Gibson Stratocaster. He started playing the drums at the age of five months and was actually born soon after being a record six months over due. The piano came naturally as he was chained to a Steinway by his father who died of a hernia trying to push it from a seventh story window.

Dave learned to play the guitar at the age of seven having spent his previous years roaming the streets of London with a corrupt Jewish man and his band of Orphans. Soon after he discovered his passion for West-End musicals and devoted his life to growing his hair, just like the woman from Phantom of the Opera. Dave and Ian met each other through an internet dating site both pretending to be hot lesbian girls.

Live music is leading to the death of music. Futon Fire are a strictly studio only band. "Artists" who play live are not really artists they are fools, frantically beating their instruments to death much like a public stoning in a dictator ruined middle eastern country.

We do not encourage this type of brutality.

Ian: Sound effects from early 50's films.

Dave: Lloyd Webber show tunes. Animal noises.

We use standard web cam microphones and guitars. We sometimes hit metal things with other metal things but we're far to neo-reneissance to use synthesisers.

Please give us positive feed back, we'll just delete anything that doesn't make us sound good.
