THE SIRES (UK)The Sires Are Dead. Long Live the Sires!
Formed in 1995 in London the Sires released their first EP “High and Mighty” in 1996, recorded at Toe Rag Studios. They toured their fuzzed-up conflation of freakbeat, R&B and garage rock around Europe and 1999 saw their debut album Rulers of Your Heart, recorded on four-track in a Shoreditch front room and mastered at Abbey Road Studios.
In 2024 The Sires got the band back together for an appearance at Hastings’ Beatwave Festival (20 years after their breakup). An ultra-rare 7” hand-cut by Russ Wilkins to mark the occasion sold out overnight. Turns out the crowd wanted more, so the old-new line-up are giving it another go: Domi Malacarne (The Dirty Burds, Tood) on vocals, harmonica and percussion, Andy Sire (The Bristols, Thursday’s Rhythm and Beat Organization) on vocals and guitar, Wayne Northern (Los Easylays, The Hurting Kind) on bass and Bongo Debbie (Thee Headcoatees, Ye Nuns) on drums.
The Sires stage a frenzied show full of soul-tinged Nuggets-inspired neo-60s freakbeat at its fuzziest.
