Firecrotch is a pair of natural redheads named Bill and Alicia who were drawn together because of their shared love of the hard stuff. "Hard stuff" meaning music! And drugs. Weeks after Firecrotch officially formed in 1998, they'd written enough material for their debut album, to be called "Bathe Your Pig in Butter". However, the album was never released because they did not record it.
Firecrotch's initial creative frenzy was followed by a four year lull/bender that ended with Bill's 2002 hospitalization due to an ether-related injury. During the three days that Bill was out recovering, Alicia went into isolation, had a nervous breakdown, and found God. When he finally returned, she asked Bill if they could become a Christian band. He looked at her without blinking for 3 minutes, took a deep huff of turpentine, then let out a blood-curdling scream. That meant yes. They excitedly embraced this new direction, and wrote an album's worth of Christian material, which they also failed to record.
A factor that has often hindered the release of Firecrotch material is the band's refusal to learn how to play instruments. But now, through the magic of having someone else do all the work for them, Firecrotch has finally been able to record. Their first two efforts, "Date Rapin' Satan" and "Hitting the Homeless", were made possible by their friend Kevin, who played all the instruments, took care of the technical thingies, and wiped up the drool. It is the first of what they promise to be "maybe some more" recordings. Firecrotch would like to thank their fans for their unflagging support,and implore their prayers and money.
