Jonathan Fire Eater Rar
Jonathan Fire.Eater's EP The Public Hanging of a Movie Star (pictured above) is located on the shelf between and. If you're hipper than most, you can say that you were there first, when the last great band from NYC to feature an asterisk in their name was packing 'em in at dingy NYC venues. I can't make that claim, myself, even though I hopped on the JFE bandwagon long before they signed to Dreamworks and quickly had their tires slashed. I remember buying this CD-well actually the seven inch (I later bought the CD as it had an extra song on it)-from East Peoria Co-Op without really having any clue who in the fuck Jonathan Fire.Eater was.
I soon found out, however. I gobbled up this release-the band's first-and their subsequent EP, Tremble Under the Boom Lights, before losing interest in the group prior to them actually 'making it big' on the indie circuit. I did have the pleasure of catching them in concert.
My friend booked them in an attic show-the perfect foil to the typical basement gig-in Peoria in the middle of the summer. It was hot as hell up there, and the band had to lug their equipment up three flights of stairs. Five songs into their set, the cops showed up in response to noise complaints and broke the show up. My friend lost his shirt on the affair, but JFE was cool enough to take what meager amount of money he could offer-which was significantly under their guarantee-and a place to crash for the night.

That left quite an impression on me. Apparently, it left quite an impression on the band, too. Some six years later, when I spoke to them in their new incarnation (The Walkmen), they remembered the gig and said they had just discussed it that day as they drove past Peoria en route to Chicago. JFE pale in comparison to The Walkmen, partly due to the superior frontman abilities of Hamilton Leithauser, who replaced JFE singer Stewart Lupton when The Walkmen formed. In addition, JFE sound more like imitators, happy to be good with the gimmick but hardly a fully-realized musical outfit. Still, I remember these days fondly.
At least two things have remained a constant since that attic show in Peoria. One, organist Walter Martin (now in The Walkmen) still has that killer farfisa with the black and white keys. And Two, I've still got a thing for pale-faced, lanky white kids who wish they had a bit of Mick Jagger in them. JFE, 'When Prince was a Kid' JFE, 'The Public Hanging of a Movie Star' This is long out of print, but you can if you've got a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket.

The original name for this 'place' was intended to be Rain on Tin, after the Sonic Youth song of the same titling. That name was already taken.
It seems to be a dead link in the Blogger world, but I'm glad it was unavailable back in 2006. The name in the address bar here comes from an EP by Jonathan Fire Eater.
They're a band that years later still has some odd hold over me. Flamed out by the time I'd just become musically conversant on my own, they manage to maintain an existence in a vacuum.
YouTube existed for years before any evidence of their live performances ever showed up there. And when they did.all was underwhelming. But this video above, recorded at the Globe in Milwaukee on November 14th, 1996, is exactly what my mind imagined as the potential for this band. The music starts perfectly at 1:49 with Paul Maroon attacking his guitar in a manner unseen from him before or since. Each subsequent band member enters the stage and the musical fray one at a time.a simple yet tension-building technique that always serves the larger good. The drum beat on this song, 'When the Curtain Calls for You' is one of my favorite to ape whenever I sit behind a kit.so to SEE it played here, without two sticks on the snare (as I had always envisioned) is that weird sort of revelation that seems to happen less and less in this digital age.
Just hearing songs from Wolf Songs For Lambs in a quasi-embryonic state, seemingly before they were committed to tape.for me it feels almost obtrusively voyeuristic as that album is pantheon to me. Doesn't mean I won't listen and doesn't mean that it's wrong. And the tangential between song ramblings by lead singer Stewart Lupton? Both tantalizing and cringe-worthy.
The Kills have covered Fire Eater's 'The Search for Cherry Red' and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs folks personally told me that as they found their footing in NYC, they were directly inspired by strides taken by this band that's considered. Jonathan Fire Eater is a band who's immediate importance was almost non-existent but who's influence continues to be felt more than fifteen years after their implosion. And for me, it's still inspiring today, in little bits like this that show up every once in awhile. And that keeps me happy and continually searching.
