Important Announcement
Picking a band name was never going to be easy, so
after a huge amount of scratching heads and furrowed
brows, we all decided on a name. At that time we were
not sure if the band would gel and because a lot of
the really good names had been taken, we settled on
"Stay U2".
That said, we have now been together for a couple
of years and we are proud to have such a large and
loyal following. We love what we are doing and all
those people who come to see us, drive us on to become
better and better. And because we want to become
better and be noticed we have decided on a band name
change.
Those of you who regularly check out our web site
will have read our history of how we came together and
will know that Joel came from a great band called
"The Unforgettable Fire". Unfortunately that
band has since folded and after much discussion, and
with the permission of those previous band members, we
have decided to take the name of "The Unforgettable
Fire". We consider this to be a great band name
and would like to honour the previous members by using
their original name to carry the torch forward.
There are a few logistics to sort out, like how we
let every one know about the change or how we change
the web site without losing any of our fans but we
hope to have the name change sorted by the first week
in July 2009.
Regards,
The Unforgettable Fire, (Formerly, Stay
U2
I was really
impressed with this band! Bono on vocals was in cracking
form and The Edge 'was on fire' faithfully recreating many
of the great man's chimey, echoey delayed sounds from
Electric Co through to Get on your Boots. Larry and Adam
provided a rock solid platform enabling Bono to do what he
does best and coax what was a tough audience (that went home
satisfied after 2 hours of great entertainment!!) Highlights
of the night included One, Mysterious Ways, Elevation,
Electric Co/Get on Your Boots, Pride, Streets and With or
Without You. I'd definitely recommend anybody to check these
guys out. Well done lads, can't wait to catch up with you
again some time soon!! ... From Matt O'Connor
The
Unforgettable Fire have recently performed a number of impressive gigs
at The Robin 2, Bilston; The Rock Café, Stourbridge and The Tardebigge in Redditch, to name just a few. Each time delivering a set that has ensured that the crowds were singing and dancing from the first to the last note.
