Preview: Campfires at The Head of Steam

There’s no smoke (or steam) without fire. And this Friday night will be no different, as quick-witted alternative indie trio Campfires take to the stage at The Head of Steam. Showcasing their own brand of infectious math rock to the Liverpudlian public, it promises to provide a taste of one of the most exciting, upcoming student bands knocking about the scene these days.

Sounding like Foals pulled This Town Needs Guns on a drunken night out and brought them home only to discover Bombay Bicycle Club waiting coyly for them in bed before engaging in a mathy ménage a trois, Campfires could surely give even the best student band a run for their money.

And with support from similarly promising Liverpool acts who are building up quite the following in the area, the upbeat indie popsters Caves and the indie-tinged post-punkers Go Fiasco, you know this is going to be a night not worth missing.

Campfires’ frontman, Chris Milnes, is well up for playing to a Liverpool crowd with comrades Caves, saying: “We are all really looking forward to it, playing with one of my best mate’s bands and playing in front of a totally new audience is always exciting.”

So if you fancy a nice, soothing break from gurning your eyes out every Friday night then The Head of Steam (situated right next to Liverpool Lime Street Station) has a whole host of great local acts playing every week for the night entitled Jon West.
