Firewater

Firewater is an indie rock group founded by Tod A. in 1995. He describes them as a "wedding band gone wrong".

After Tod left his previous group, Cop Shoot Cop, he quickly regrouped and formed Firewater to explore the styles of music Cop Shoot Cop had only hinted at, including klezmer, cabaret, ska, jazz, and gypsy forms. More than one source described the original Firewater lineup as an "indie rock supergroup", based on members such as Duane Denison of the Jesus Lizard, Yuval Gabay of Soul Coughing, Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields, and Hahn Rowe of Foetus. This original lineup proved unable to tour, and Tod recruited new musicians for the band's first tour. While the lineup has changed over the years, with many different musicians appearing on different albums and tours, Tod remains the singer, songwriter, and bassist of Firewater.

Firewater has released five albums, and has seen some success, especially in Europe and on United States college radio stations.

Their latest album, Songs We Should Have Written, is a collection of cover songs. It includes songs written by Robyn Hitchcock, The Rolling Stones ("Paint It Black" reinterpreted as a crawlingly slow raga which "shove(s) a few downers down the song's throat to counter the original version's adrenaline-fueled fire" ), and a "dark and sweet" take of Sonny and Cher's "The Beat Goes On", described as "10 times more ominous and 20 times more pleasurable" than the original. The album also includes a modern rendition of the Johnny Cash anthem "Folsom Prison Blues".

    Firewater in the news

    First the white man corrupted Indian culture with Firewater and now the Mexican drug cartel invades the Indian Reservation with their drugs . Same scene, romance their women and father their bastard child and then require the women to work the drug trade 'once it was the booze trade'.Does the US soldier do the same thing in the middle east?

    The artist says: "I somewhere saw the idea of creating "fire" out of water and I liked it so much I decided to create my own interpretation. The sources for the "flame" are from sxc.hu. For the candle I took the pics myself."

    How to consume 11 bottles of high-end firewater. In the last several years Russia has seen a remarkable elevation in the status of its national drink, as a slew of premium brands has created an entirely new market for pricey vodka.
