FIRE ON DAWSON

Fire On Dawson biography
German band FIRE ON DAWSON, at first called Fire on Dawson Street, was formed in 2005 by Moritz Lietzenmayer (drums), Nicolas Morales Ocampo (guitars) and Martin Sonntag (bass). Vocalist Ankur Batra joined in 2006, and the following year the need for a second guitarist saw Manuel Odendahl expand their line-up to a fivesome. They released their first EP "7 Symptoms" soon after, and then both guitarists left the band for various reasons. Markus Stricker became their new guitarist, and in 2009 Nicolas Morales Ocampo rejoined the band briefly, contributing to the band's debut album "Prognative" and a subsequent tour in India before leaving again.

When work commenced on their next album in 2010 another line-up alteration took place, as forming member Lietzenmayer decided to leave the band. Max Siegmund became his replacement, and in 2012 Fire On Dawson was ready with their sophomore effort "7 Billion and a Nameless Somebody". Since then the band has had a second tour in India, as well as performances in Eastern Europe and of course in their homebase of Germany. The latest news from band headquarters is that 2013 will be a year of performing their material live in new territories, as well as rumours of collaborations so far unnamed.
