About Fire Bug:
Forged in the storied Wicker Park section of Chicago by vocalist Juliette Tworsey and guitarist Jules Shapiro, Fire Bug began cutting their musical teeth in and around local Chicago venues before making their way out to Los Angeles, where they've added drummer Ty Dennis and bassist Adam Levy.
Since arriving in Los Angeles, Fire Bug has become a part of the essential club scene sharing the stage with many artists including Tom Morello (RATM / Audio Slave), Donita Sparks (L7), to unplugged sets with new folk artist Jesca Hoop and even performing with classic 60's folk icon Donovan.
The band has also received high praise from various publications such as Time Out NY and LA Weekly. Through their exposure to over 300,000 MySpace Music fans, the Fire Bug sound has been compared to that of a new millennium version of 70's rock, with each song being stamped with their own unique signature.
Juliette's voice is quirky yet distinct. Her vocals are a well-trained combination of high and low, slow and fast. Delicately gentle one moment, and fiercely aggressive the next.
Jules plays a guitar evocative of the Delta Blues with occasionally bizarre chord progressions and a touch of hard rock thrown in for good measure.
