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.
The band has received high praise from various publications such as Time Out NY and LA Weekly. 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.
Taken independently, there are songs in the band’s repertoire, which could be classified as indie, blues, and even psychedelic.
