We’re going to celebrate 10 years of Backyard Tire Fire in the fall with some BIG SHOWS (below)…and then we’re going to take a break. An indefinite hiatus, if you will. Everything is cool, we all just have lots of other things going in our lives right now. We want to thank people like Nick Curry and Geoff Harrison for their hard work and resolve. Thanks to our loved ones for dealing with the constant touring. And to the people that listened to the songs and supported us, and fed us and gave us places to sleep.
Rock & Roll,
BTF
