Backyard Tire Fire Visits Sun Studio
The Bloomington based roots rock band Backyard Tire Fire probably had great expectations and lofty goals when they were just starting out playing in their brother's/uncle's/great aunt's garage but somehow I bet playing a set at Sun Studios was not one of them. To play at the studios where Elvis, Jerry Lee and Johnny all recorded their seminal work must have been a dream come true. Here's the video the band can show to their grandkids in 50 years.
The band plays on a crazy triple bill tonight at Metro opening up for Nashville Pussy and Reverend Horton Heat.

P.S. Here's a song or two from an acoustic set the band performed in February in their home town of Bloomington, IL.
