Many thanks to Jim DeRo and Greg Kot for talking about The Fire Show on Sound Opinions!

They flash back to an unforgettable 2000 show at SXSW: "infectious noise; primal high art."

Jim says The Fire Show "is one of the best bands I've ever seen, from Chicago, period."

We agree! Give it a listen.

In this bonus episode, Jim adds a song to the Desert Island Jukebox from a great Chicago band that he first heard at SXSW in Austin, TX.

The late, great Fire Show is finally available on vinyl! This three-LP, colored-vinyl set combines two of the band's albums — their 2000 self-titled debut and 2002's Saint The Fire Show — with four live performances from Minneapolis (7th St. Entry), Kansas City (Pyro Room) and Chicago (Abbey Pub). Limited run, so hurry!
Congrats, Seth Kim-Cohen and Michael Lenzi.

Check out this Pitchfork Q&A with Michael Lenzi. http://www.sweetpearecords.net/sweet-pea-blog/ ... 'Sometimes bands are not well known or even known in their time. I grew up loving Dischord bands that would last only a year or so. Some of the records, like the Embrace LP, came out after they broke up, yet the music they made sticks with me still."

Out now: Tough Solar's newest release "Tough Solar." You can buy it on double vinyl at sweetpearecords.net or listen to and download it at toughsolar.com.

Today Michael is assembling his three-record LENƵI box set, out soon on Sweet Pea Records.

When it came time to publicize Sweet Pea releases back in the 1990s, BBC Radio 1 made the mailing list because of The Great John Peel. We sent him Number One Cup's first 7-inch, Connecticut. One day, I arrived home to the following message on my answering machine.
