Last Place Losers
This was where Phoenix Fire Down had it's humble beginnings. It was the first band that Troy, Tom and Timmy all played in, along with Shawn Hayes, and (briefly) Justin Comeau, who played in the band Faceless Authority with Tom later on.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started in 2002 sometime, when Troy and Tom met at a party and decided to start a band. Tom played guitar, but bought a bass for the occasion because they couldn't find a bass player. Shawn Hayes joined on guitar, and they put Tom's little brother Tim on drums
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We played one show at the Hudson street fair. Troy was hungover and Shawn was running on no sleep, so they forgot the lyrics to half the songs. Tom's patch chord broke and he knocked over a mic stand....only Tim went unscathed.
