BACKYARD TIRE FIRE NEWS

ever see how on the simpsons that the springfield tire yard has been bruning for well over 35 years? ha.

i've heard nothing but good things about these and i'm really looking forward to hearing them and all the other great bands that will be at Wanee.

Republican Ninja.............What a fucking geek

say what you will duckswiller but nothing burns as good as a tire. back at the WTO protests in Seattle, i learned that nothing keeps the cops back further one one side of the street than a burning colum of tires in the street. remember how on the simpsons when homer was cooking some meat atop his chimney and asked bart to throw in some "mesquite" which was really a tire.

These guys are the best thing to come out of chicago in a long time. Check out cornmeal for another great chitown band. Go BEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTF kicks mutherfuckin ass!

for the last time Jambase, it is Carbondale IL!! ;)

heard these guys r really good, but shonuff i think there is a little band called Umphreys McGee that came out of chicago i no they r orginally from South Bend but i mean they consider themselves from Chi-town. I agree GO BEARS!!! not a big fan but hate the Colts and i love Chicago and u havnt had an glory since MJ left

I love this band.. They have what it takes, Their CD is my new favorite.. Everyone should go see them

BYTF aren't even out of Chicago are they? Im pretty sure they are from Bloomington Illinois, but who cares---they are good. They are not really a jam band, but i agree with greengrass--they have what it takes. I also agree that Cornmeal is a must see. I can't help but to mention Family Groove Company as one of the Chicago elite and yes, Umphreys is the biggest jamband to ever come out of the midwest- although their groupies are f-ing annoying. Representin' Go Bears

they are for sure the best thing to come out of that backass town of bloomington il. seen them meny times around midwest well worth the tix price

I will have to check these guys out at the Waka. Heard of them. Never seen them.

I like these guys. good work.

Groovatron and Mr. Blotto are two other pretty kickass bands from the midwest\Chicagoland area. BTF is solid, they write great rock n' roll tunes, worth seeing for sure.

Do yourself a favor, check these guys out. They are from Bloomington, but Chicago ssems to take credit for anything in Illinois, either way these guys kick some serious ass. Being from Chicago, had the chance to see em a bunch of times, always impressed. Great guys too, very down to earth.

DA BEARS! remember on saturday night live on the superfans when chris farley would always have the heart attacks. his character's name was todd. he would always hack up whole pork chops and what about the time when the superfans were all in the hospital and had the barbacue sauce i.v.'s. and the doctor was showing an x-ray of the heart and the one dudes had a fried egg on it. good shit.

they sound a lot like wilco and uncle tupelo, but i've only listened to about 7 songs...did i just stumble on songs that sound like them, or do they branch out a bit on their sound?

check out some of the shows on archive.org, they definitely show their influences, but i think they play some very diverse sets.
