Fire Bug's Stash

Artist Bio

Forged in the storied Wicker Park section of Chicago by vocalist Juliette Tworsey and guitarist Jules Shapiro, Fire Bug began cutting their musical teeth in and around local Chicago venues before making their way out to Los Angeles. Since arriving in Los Angeles, Fire Bug has become a part of the essential club scene sharing the stage with such artists as Donita Sparks (L7) to even an unplugged set with Tom Morello (Audio Slave, RATM). The band has also received high praise from various publications such as Time Out NY and LA Weekly. Both fans and critics tend to compare the Fire Bug sound to that of a new millennium version of 70’s rock, with each song being stamped with their own unique signature. Juliette's voice is quirky yet distinct. Her vocals are a well-trained combination of high and low, slow and fast. Delicately gentle one moment and fiercely aggressive the next. Jules plays a guitar evocative of the Delta Blues with occasionally bizarre chord progressions and a touch of hard rock thrown in for good measure. Taken independently, there are songs in the band's repertoire, which could be classified as indie, blues, and even psychedelic. In the final analysis, Fire Bug is out to establish a new game and people want to hear what all the noise is about. In so doing, Fire Bug has been invited to showcase at the 2007 New Music West Conference held in Vancouver BC. Fire Bug is also headlining the Urban Lawns Music Festival May 2007 in the UK. Winner of the New Music Video Awards 2007 and voted best DIY songwriters of 2006. Fire Bug currently have their songs “Paradise” and “Girl” spun on Chicago’s Q101 and on Indie 103.1 in Los Angeles.
