Barfly members in their city apartment, still writing, recording and performing
In the 90’s, in the Midlands of England, in a dive bar, club or Firkin pub chances are there was a band playin’ and chances are it was Barfly.
Pop punk, booze rock, a bit goth. “we just played the kind of music we wanted to dance to at Rock City”
1996 to 2001 saw Barfly on "a quest for the eternal party". Liquor fuelled confidence and after show excess ruled.
Divorce, dissolution and occasional jobs played a part in Barfly’s departure from the music scene, but they re-emerged in 2020 for ‘Drunk Again’... again.
2022 saw a one gig "world tour" Barfly playing an impromptu show in a small, but packed, venue in Shinjuku Tokyo.
Feeding off a hyped audience, the band gave it their all and a tiny Japanese bar rocked to booze fuelled British stage excess.
