The Amplifires | Turning it up to 11

The Amplifres Scorch America - again

Submitted by steve on Tue, 27/04/2010 - 11:45

Planning is progressing in respect of a short tour of the USA this September. We are working with a professional promoter and agent as well as Larry and it looks like we will be playing in three states - NY, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The profile will be raised for this tour and we're likely to be playing to minimum audiences of around 250 and with the probability of a small festival headline slot chucked in for good measure - its looking like Pittsburgh.

Keep scanning the pages for more news,

KIM CHESTER - NEW AMPLIFIRES DRUMMER

Submitted by steve on Sun, 14/02/2010 - 20:15

Kim Chester has arrived and is now sat on the Amps drum stool. Ruth left in December due to a change in personal circumstances. She's still a friend of the band and we all wish her well for the future.

Kim has a wealth of experience in a load of different styles and will add considerably to The Amplifires sound and presence. First outing will be at The Unsigned Festival on 28th February 2010 - we are playing the Flapper and Firkin in Birmingham - tickets available now!!!!!

A short while ago Swampsnake tipped over the 2000 hit mark - it has been on since May 2008; the late comer is Mr P and FotM, posted at the end of February 2009 and in less than 6 months it has romped to over 1000 hits! So Swampsnake has had about 140 hits a month and Mr P well over 180 per month!

Keep on watching and look out for the USA dates where we will be promoting the new 16 track CD called SWALK.

Thanks for your support,

Steve
