Feuermusik was a Canadian experimental jazz duo based in Toronto, Ontario, active in the 2000s.[1] [2] Consisting of former Rockets Red Glare members Jeremy Strachan and Gus Weinkauf, the band's instrumentation consisted exclusively of saxophone and a set of amplified plastic and metal buckets for percussion.[3]
Strachan and Weinkauf formed Feuermusik in 2004.[4] The band's debut album, Goodbye Lucille, was released independently in 2006.[5] [6] It received substantial play on community and campus radio stations.[7] The song "Doppelspiel" was later named as a shortlisted nominee for the 2007 Echo Songwriting Prize.[8]
Their second album, No Contest, followed in 2008. They continued to perform in the Toronto area, sometimes with additional musicians.[9] In 2009 the pair performed at Sappyfest in Sackville,[10] and in 2010 they performed at the Halifax Pop Explosion festival.[11]
