12 x 12 - Big Gold Dream by Fire Engines

Washing Powder and Meat, Heston is that you?

This band are the epitome of a Cult band, only existing on short bursts of activity but leaving such an imprint. This was what turned out to be their last single, an attempt to follow up the success of Candyskin and it fell flat (or so the internet tells me) and the band broke up.

Although sounding nothing like their first LP, it's an impeccable single; Antithetic chords, rattling toms and funky. If this came on in a club people would be dancing and not give a monkeys who it was by, "The Fire Who...?" they'd say. The B-sides go back to a bit more of the sound we are used to hearing from the scratchy, up tempo percussive work outs that brought them to my ears the first time with tracks like "Get Up, Use Me" and their amazing cover of "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thing"
