About The Firekites

Formed in Newcastle in 2005, Firekites revolves around the songwriting partnership of Rod Smith and Tim McPhee. Rod's and Tim's compositions effortlessly reflect insular warmth, regret and melancholy. The warmth of the acoustic guitar arrangements are enhanced with the violin of Jason Tampake (Josh Pyke/Charge Group) and the jazzy vocals of Jane Tyrrell (The Herd). With these elements, The Bowery reveals its true shape. Firekites have previously supported overseas artists Laura Marling, Iron & Wine, The Sea and Cake and Bill Callahan (Smog) and local favourites including Something for Kate and Bridezilla. Firekites are currently supporting Josh Pyke and later this month, Holly Throsby. In October 2008, Firekites will stage their first headline tour of Australia. Joining them will be Melbourne's Crayon Fields. In Adelaide, Firekites will be supporting Sweden's The Tallest Man On Earth.
