About The Firebrigade

Let 'Em Swing!

After their successful forays into the latter decades of rock history, the Firebrigade has (at last) arrived in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
Clad in the finest and most stylish of suits the band turns back the clock to 1959 – recapturing the feeling of Frank “Ol’ Blue Eyes” Sinatra, Louis Prima and Bobby Darin – as though the intervening years had never been…

If you need proof that wild parties were held even during years of prohibition, you need look no further than there records . These songs are the hottest since the invention of shellac!

But the real quality of The Firebrigade only reveals itself where the sheep are separated from the goats, namely, on stage. Smoothly and without apparent effort, the band charms every audience.
But under the surface they are starting to bubble and fizz! Like a greyhound on a leash, The Firebrigade drags the crowd along behind it with an irresistible urge to dance. The piano and double bass pump their way through a program full of smash hits (Jumping Jive, Mack the Knife, Fly Me to the Moon and many more). Driven by the swinging rhythms of the drums, the brass instruments slice through the heavy air with their sharp and penetrating melodies. And on top of all this is the shimmering voice of Marcus Int-Veld – the brain, the heart, and the belly of the band.
