While in Liverpool for Sound City, Larry Heath sat down with Bonfire Nights, the trio (made up of Steve, Nicole and Ruth) who have made the move from Brisbane to London, and in doing so have had a bit of a change in their sound, too. Well we'll let you be the judges of that when you hear the new stuff! In the meantime, here's what they got up to when they had a chat over a cold pint...

Jumping around the UK, Jinja Safari (pictured above) were among the bands to close out the night at the London Aussie BBQ. Also performing were the always loveable Husky, The Drones' Mike Noga (who performed a killer Nick Lowe cover), Sydney's Step-Panther, Adelaide's hidden treasures The Bowers, Brisbane's Bonfire Nights and Darwin duo Sietta, who closed out the night. Johnny Au brings us the photos...

The final day of music for me on this trip quite appropriately kicked off with the annual Aussie BBQ at Heebie Jeebies. With the stage in an outdoor beer garden (right next to the BBQ), the weather had us nervous but thankfully the overcast sky stayed just that; the rain keeping at bay. This kept the venue packed and made for one hell of an Aussie BBQ to end their run of shows in the UK for 2012 (they’re off to Singapore next).

Another day passes and another Brisbane based band propels an accomplished EP out into the universe. Three piece Bonfire Nights dropped their self titled debut in late 2010 and it showcases their diverse style and ability to move seamlessly between genres while still maintaining a sense of continuity and originality.
