Sky Caves In Album Released On Spotify
Our debut album Sky Caves In is now available on Spotify at The On Fires page.
Check it out right here –
We’ve re-released this album in honour of our first European tour in 6 years – this September – and for ‘Back to the Yak’ at Mr Boogie Man Bar, 7pm 24th August. Check our FB page for details.
Sky Caves In was released in 2004 (Whoa) during the heady days of all things MySpace. We’d even book tours using this now all-but-defunct app, easily contacting bands overseas, jumping on lineups from Poland to Ukraine, sleeping on floors etc.
Sky was recorded locally at our previous home studio in Richmond. Mick Brown, who’ll be joining us at Back to the Yak, was our drummer way back then. And he killed it. Check the title track for one.
Fires out.
Meat Raffle Winner? – Back to the Yak
Meat raffle winner exraordinare – the mighty Mr Clive Cooke – will indeed this time be drawing the meat raffle at Back to the Yak, Ably assisted of course by Ms Heidi. This likely means he may well be out of the running to actually win it. There’s an historical tragedy playing out here. Perhaps he might have won it for a tenth time.
Alas, perhaps not this time…
Fires out.
Mick Brown Joins Us – Back To The Yak!
Very special guest, Mr Mick Brown – our original drummer who played on the Sky Caves In album – will be joining us on stage at the ‘Back to the Yak’ show, Sat 24th August at Mr Boogie Man. How cool is that!
We’ve played tons of shows with Mick – and many at the Yak. He’s a crackin’ roof-raising super rock drummer – and a gentleman to boot (unlike myself). Damn we’re looking forward to it!
Fires out.
Back To The Yak at Mr Boogieman 24/8
Here it comes. The big one for the year. (for quite a few years in fact). We’re taking it back to The Yak, the bar where it all began for us some 12 years ago. These days it’s my local. Barman Dave (the Doctor), gave the place a new name 5 years ago – Mr Boogieman Bar.
Dave and cohorts Jax and Rosco have restored the place to it’s former glory. And we’ll be back there on Saturday 24th August. Kicking off around 7pm. We have a special guest or two – details shortly, watch this space.
Seeya there!
Fires out.

Europe Tour 2019
It’s official. We’re heading to Germany in September for SinnerRock Festival. I thought I’d retired (Max Redmaxharman) but the pull of performing is too strong!! #onceamuso #LongTruongPhotography
Ramblers Sky Diving Festival, Queensland
8 years after our first appearance here at Ramblers Drop Zone Toogoolawah QLD, we’re back again for 3 shows over this festival’s opening weekend. So good to be back. There are rumours we’ll be jumping over the next 3 days. We don’t know exactly when (I’m trying not to think about it). Last time my head nearly exploded for post jump adrenaline.
First show – stripped back acoustic set tonight.
Here’s what happened last time.
(midday today)
Fires out.
