Order lowFLOWs: The Columbia Anthology ('91 - '93) (2 CD)

Here are some of the great features of lowFLOWs: The Columbia Anthology ('91 - '93) (2 CD)

lowFLOWs The Columbia Anthology '91, fIREHOSE was formed in the spring of 1986 shortly after the accidental death of guitarist/vocalist D. Boon brought an end to bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley's previous band, Minutemen.
fIREHOSE continued in the Minutemen tradition of intricate musicianship combined with caustic lyrical fusillades inspired by the writing of the Beat Generation and the indignation of the Blank Generation, but developed their own musical identity apart from the Minutemen while still maintaining the same dynamic synthesis of punk, funk, and free jazz. Adapting a relentless do-it-yourself work ethic, the band toured non-stop and consistently played to capacity audiences over the course of 7.5 years - playing nearly 1000 shows before disbanding in 1994. lowFLOWs: The Columbia Anthology ('91-'94) features the complete remastered fIREHOSE Columbia recordings including 2 full length albums (1991's critically acclaimed "Flyin' The Flannel" and 1994's "Mr. Machinery Operator"); a rare live EP ("Live Totem Pole") as well as rare, out of print and previously unreleased recordings. This Spring, after 18 years, fIREHOSE are re-uniting, performing and touring together for the first time since 1994 culminating with performances at this year's Coachella Festival (taking place April 13-15 and 20-22 in CA).
