The On Fires

Who knew that a chance meeting of two teenagers at a swimming camp on Australia's Gold Coast would lead, some years later, to an international touring act playing shows to crowds of 50,000?

Marty Xennoff and Max[ine] Harman, founders of The On Fires, have been touring internationally since 2007 and have built up their touring route to include four continents. Playing all manner of venues from Army outposts in the Pacific; clubs and colleges in Australia and the US; festivals in Europe and China, the fiery three-piece (including drummer Kent Aberle from Atlanta, Georgia) receive consistently ecstatic responses from audiences around the world.

Xennoff intrigues guitarists and audiences alike, playing bass and guitar at the same time; while Harman roams the stage - vintage keys in hand. Comparisons to other bands have included Flaming Lips, Devo, Arcade Fire, Blondie, Black Sabbath, B52s, Hot Hot Heat, Queen, FooFighters, Smashing Pumpkins, The Clash, Green Day, Stereophonics, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Sex Pistols even Elvis Costello!

Carving a crooked path, Legless are a shining light for the non believers of commercial pop music, creating original punk gems of golden heights.

Songs such as ‘Get My Knickers Off” and the JPF award winning “Drinking tonight” has spawned a legion of Legless believers.
