Fire Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fire Party were a hardcore band from Washington D.C. They were together from the autumn of 1986 to the spring of 1990. The band members were Amy Pickering (vocals), Natalie Avery (guitar), Kate Samworth (bass), and Nicky Thomas (drums).

They released a six-song self-titled EP, an eight-song album and a complete discography on Dischord Records.

Despite their small discography, Fire Party, along with related "Revolution Summer" bands like Embrace and Rites of Spring, had a lasting influence on the artistic direction of American punk. Apart from being an all female band, a rarity in hardcore punk music, drummer Nicky Thomas was also one of the few African American women involved in the hardcore punk music scene.
