Weekend Trip this March will be another great memory to imprint into our history.
1) Its not about the sound, even though Arthur the engineer did a smashingly splendid job to give us a balanced sound for all to enjoy..
2) Its not about the lights, even though it was a gorgeous light display of moods that caught our emotions..
3) Its not about the music, even though YAWA, LEESON and WITHERED TREE are brilliant and respectable in their own right.. preference does not equate to talent.
4) Its not about the heat, even though we were all sweaty! haha... oh my especially poor jamie (Leeson’s lead vox)... the dude has suffered so we get to enjoy Leeson’s great performance.
5) Its not even about the vibe, even though hell yeah it was immensely enjoyable! Your moves and grooves... your smiles and shouts... our crazy "I-dont-give-a-damn" stage antics.
It is all about the friendship. The memory that carries on to the present. Perhaps in our exuberant expression, many have overlooked this time after time. But truthfully, all these wouldn’t have mattered if it weren’t for the connections we have made with each other. Our friends that we came along and had fun with, the band whom we rocked out with, the music that touched our hearts, the meaningful moments that we shared (birthdays and departures, grieviences and relief).. all these happened that very night. its these little things that brought us together.
For all are one people beloved.
Think about that.
Much love, Josh The Fire Fight, [A Fire Fight Christmas @ The Esplanade]: We wish you a merry merry christmas, with surprises and many many more surprises. Together with dear friends, Jon Chan (Plain Sunset) and Jean Low (Giants Must Fall).]" varStatus="status" > -->

Bio
Life isn’t a fairytale, But it sure is beautiful
In the heart of South East Asia, the lives of five young gentlemen unfold as they venture beyond lights of their pragmatic reality. With music as the enchanting doorway to the heartstrings of other individuals, The Fire Fight set their sails for an amazing adventure. Carrying their own unique spin of indie rock, The Fire Fight brings forth an exuberant energy of freedom and life. Take the chance, disappear into the blinding lights, and fall back into the Sun. This is where it all begins, where the elements collide, when you burst into life.
The Fire Fight emanated from independent songwriter Joshua Tan (Vox/Guitars). Harmonising his impassioned melodies with the modest innovative tunes of Jonathan Leong (Guitars) and the dynamic-compelling rhythm of Iain Tham (Drums) and JBarks (Bass), The Fire Fight has conceived a truly pristine experience for the music of today. Identifying inspirations from the diverse likes of The Promise Ring, Maritime, The Velvet Teen, Death Cab for Cutie, Jamiroquai and more, The Fire Fight resonates an 80s "raw" indie mood with hints of modern expression.
A life extraordinaire. The Fire Fight embraces to live what they sing for. This is the fight of existence, the fight of love and the fight of belief. Dance and shout out; for tomorrow we’ll start a fight.
