Biography

The story of The Little Flames starts one night last December when two
22-year olds in search of something were introduced to three 17-year olds
in search of nothing, by the legendary Northern dub and punk DJ Babylon
Fox.

Says one Little Flame, 'We ended up back at this dingy basement flat on the
park, and just stayed up all night wired and trying to keep warm, playing
as fast as we could. We had this 70s Casio keyboard with a drum machine,
and some horrible, cheap rusty-stringed guitars. The flat above was
abandoned, so we cranked everything up well loud ...it was kicking off! The
drum machine was broken and would only play fast, so we just stopped up all
night - pure noise and speed - and wrote a few songs.'

The following bleary eyed morning, all we had was a dictaphone recording
with Joe and Miles screaming and ad-libbing on, and the very last bit of
one of the tunes. Eva had pages of lyrics scribbled down, and Greg had
completely dismantled the drum machine to make an ashtray. We'd only been
together about 18 hours. After listening back to the end of the tape, we
put together an early version of Goodbye Little Rose. It's the first proper
Little Flames tune, so we were all really up for it being our first
record...'
