Firebird band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Firebird Band is an indie rock band hailing from Chicago, Illinois. The band was created as a side project by Chris Broach, of Braid notoriety, and his brother Riley Broach in 1996. The band's first endeavor was the 7" titled New York under the name of The Firebird Suite which was released in 1998. The band became a full-time project for Chris Broach following Braid's disbandment in 1999.

The Firebird Band is currently Christopher Broach, Steve Znavor (of Life at Sea), & Mike Marsden (The New Constitution).
