Winner Best live Act in Guildford Brit Awards 2008
National radio play by Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2) who described the band as "a very very good British band. Chaotic, but wonderful".
Two Fingers of Firewater have gigged extensively throughout the UK, adding wah-wah mandolin to 1930s folk songs, tearing up stages with Rolling Stones' accomplice Al Perkins and proving that there is a place for trombone in rock'n'roll. Their catchy tunes range from last order laments to summer pop harmonies. The band's first album, recorded in a giant fridge on a strawberry farm, mined a classic alt.country sound - great melodies backed by pedal steel, Telecasters, accordion and synthesiser.
After spending winter recording in a new studio back on the farm, a new album is set for release later this year. Expect their trademark melodic excursions and a variety of influences from Big Star to Yo La Tengo. BBC legend Bob Harris calls Two Fingers of Firewater "chaotic - but wonderful" and musicOMH.com reckons they are "the kind of band you imagine Jack White would like to discover and keep in a cage".
Two Fingers of Firewater was formed in 2005 by founding band members Jon Clake (acoustic/electric guitars and vocals), Tom Harding (bass) and Alex Chappelow (pedal steel/guitar/mandolin). The original line-up changed significantly in mid-2007 with the addition of Stephen Price (keyboards) and James Sacha (drums).
