Blondfire is the Brazilian/American brother/sister duo of Bruce
and Erica Driscoll. They began under the name Astaire, but due to legal
threats from the Fred Astaire estate they were forced to change their
name. The siblings write/record/produce all their own songs and make a
refreshing, UK influenced sound that is at once catchy, original, and
undeniably their own. Despite their polished, pop hooks, the duo is the
true definition of Indie. They’ve literally done nearly everything
independently:
* The song L-L-Love was the Free Single of the Week on iTunes, seeing nearly 300,000 downloads.
* Toured nationally with the bands Ivy, Stars, and Robbers on High Street.
* The first unsigned band to do an iTunes Exclusive EP and reach the number 1 spot.
* Major Motion Picture and TV licenses such as spots in: Monster In
Law, I Think I Love My Wife, Mozart & The Whale, Bangkok Dangerous,
VH1’s Awesomely Oversexed, E!s Stranded With a Star, Dawson’s Creek,
and more.
* Had write-ups in the following publications: Entertainment
Weekly, Under The Radar, America, YRB, The New Yorker, MSNBC, CMJ, and
more.
* Their new single, Pretty Young Thing, is currently featured on the NIKE website alongside Hot Chip.
* Erica co-wrote Jessica Simpson’s song B.O.Y. with Ric Ocasek and Wally Gagel.
* Bruce has co-produced or performed on songs featuring Brookville,
James Iha, Gretchen Mol, members of Tahiti 80, and the Brazilian Girls.
My Someday, the new album is due out soon! Stay tuned and always remember "... All you need is ’L-L-Love’." - Entertainment Weekly
