Friendly Fires: Dancer in New York

About Friendly Fires

Friendly Fires is an English indie rock act formed in St Albans, aligned with the late-2000s overlap of indie dance and new rave. After signing with Polydor, they introduced their rhythmic, guitar-led sound on a 2008 self-titled debut that later entered the Mercury Prize conversation. Their live sets lean on tight ensemble interplay and percussive momentum rather than studio polish. In New York City, they bring that late-night pulse to the stage at Elsewhere.
