Hangfires IS DEAD

About Me

hangfires is/are/was three males who by chance or by british rail found themselves in the bustling and hugely cultured port city of liverpool. the sea air and lack of any real employment inspired them hugely to produce music and be merry. got instruments,got a room, got songs. they can now usually be found in the romantic squalor of lazy studio's, or at a wedding/birthday/bar mitzvah near you plying their trade. thankyou and goodnight vienna.

'spiky, shouty riot pop par excellence' (SHAMBLES E-ZINE)

'catchy as hell with sharp lyrics...bringing rag-tag chancers and slutty ballerinas to life' (TASTY FANZINE)

'I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes' (WET WET WET)
