Bringing to mind a strange combination of The Association, the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and Einstürzende Neubauten, Flaming Fire has created a new type of experimental psychedelia that is stirring, catchy and disturbing all at once. Flaming Fire's energetic performances are highly theatrical, while also emphasizing the songs themselves, instead of the performers. Dressed like an ancient Greco-Roman chorus, the band opens each performance wearing red togas and masks to hide their individual personalities and stress the ritualized nature of their music. Songbooks are also distributed to audience members, so they can sing or chant along, and then perform the songs in the privacy of their own homes.

“Excellent New York-area weirdness...Flaming Fire delivers bent cabaret chaos.”
- Thurston Moore and Byron Coley, Arthur magazine

“Can't accuse Flaming Fire of having a dull stage show--they've got the costumes, the bombast, the eye-grabbing frontpeople, the general sense of performance spectacle. They've also got the songs: unnerving, arty, freaky anthems about mortality, divinity, and leopard ninja people with plastic wings, sort of the avant-garde 'Bat out of Hell.'”
- Douglas Wolk, Village Voice

“Brooklyn's Flaming Fire is a theatrical rock combo halfway between the Residents and an off-Broadway show, balancing horror-film-creepy singing and keyboard manipulations....One of the cooler, more inventive bands in town.”
- Time Out New York

“Flaming Fire is a higgledy-piggledy mash-up of electronica, banjos, and 1980s pop. Art school never sounded so good.”
- Boston Globe
