The Fire Engines
About the artist
Fire Engines hailed from Edinburgh, United Kingdom and comprised David (Davy) Henderson (vocals/guitar), Murray Slade (guitar), Graham Main (bass), and Russell Burn (drums). The band name was inspired by a 13th Floor Elevators song. Henderson, Main, and Burn had previously been members of The Dirty Reds, along with Russell Burn's brother Tam Dean Burn, while Slade had played in Station Six. Fire Engines' debut release was the Get Up And Use Me/Everything's Roses single, released on manager Angus Groovy's Codex Communications label in 1980.
