Mexirish Simplifires (for Cinco de Mayo)

What happens when three students from Mexico City and an Irishman form a band? This isn't a joke (although it sounds like it could be.) The answer is Simplifires. Studying abroad in London brought three of these four together; working in a studio helped those three understand how to record. It wasn't until after their time in London that the band started, though. Two headed back to Mexico City and started playing music with a cousin, but needed some vocals. So, they wrote to their buddy back home in Ireland. After submitting some rough vocal tracks, it sounded decent enough and Simplifires formed.

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo its only appropriate to feature a band from Mexico (mostly.) Think tequila meets U2. If you aren't fluent in Spanish, good luck with their MySpace. You'll be happy to know their website is in English and has free downloads for the tracks listed below.

Simplifires is Shine (guitarra), Rodrigo (bajo), Alex (bateria), and daveO (voz).
