Flames Flames Flames

In an era of funeral songs for rock music, bands, and albums, the four-piece Flames Flames Flames walks in the footsteps of Robert Johnson, King Crimson, and The White Stripes—to prove the counter-thesis: Even in the 21st century, the toolkit of rock’n’roll still offers endless possibilities. For going on song journeys together. For probing life. For mourning it. For celebrating it.

Frontman Marcel Illetschko and his three companions from Salzburg are—after various projects in jazz, electronic, folk, and progressive music—on their way down to the crossroads: meticulously crafted band dynamics, blues-drenched rhythms under fuzz storms, Lennonesque songwriting, and lyrics that tilt the floor beneath you. Northern lights, a wind-lashed sea, and pulsing ice – inscribed in music.

Line-up:

Marcel Illetschko – Guitar & Vocals
