It’s 15 years since Friendly Fires’ self-titled LP.
Friendly Fires have added a second live date in London for early next year.
The band will be celebrating the anniversary of their debut album at Outernet on February 24th, and they’ll now be extending the party with an extra night on Thursday, February 23rd.
“Time is a flat circle, much like a CD or a record, and one such flat circle that completely reconfigured our lives will be turning 15 next year,” they’ve remarked.
“Friendly Fires only peaked at a modest #38 in the album chart, but momentum grew via the word-of-mouth of our small crew of proactive fans, and eventually we had a hit on our hands.”
“So next year, we’re going to be getting out there and doing a special show to celebrate this, both for us and for the fans who made it a success.”
“We’ll be blasting through the record in full along with a generous helping of other tunes, doubtless feeling a bit weepy and emotional throughout. It’ll be great to see the old gang, plus the newer heads who came on board (rimshot) later.”
