AMUSEMENT PARKS ON FIRE

The band began as the solo project of Michael Feerick in 2004, who wrote
and recorded ten songs on a small budget with friend Daniel Knowles
engineering the sessions. The self-titled debut album was released in the
UK on INVADA Records, a label run by Geoff Barrow of Portishead in
2005. The band signed to V2 Records in 2005 and recorded their second
studio album Out of the Angeles at Sigur Rós' Sundlaugin studio in
Álafoss, Iceland.
The line-up altered to its current state in summer 2006 with the addition
of Gavin Poole (Bass) and Joe Hardy (Keyboards). This was followed by a
co-headline tour of the UK with US noise outfit Scarling. and a headline
tour across mainland Europe and Scandinavia. The band played in Japan
for the first time at the Summer Sonic Festival 2006.
In addition to the second album Out of the Angeles, the band are
currently recording a series of limited edition 12" EPs — the first of
which, In Flight was released early in September 2006. This was followed
by A Star Is Born on the 2nd of April 2007. The band recently played a
short UK tour and debuted some new material, and are currently in
Nottingham, not Prague, recording new material for release in 2008.
