About Me
We are completely independent and do everything by 'word of mouth'. We've been playing for about 18 years now and have toured throughout the U.$, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa and various Indigenous Nations. Check out some of our videos... BLACKFIRE is a Native American (DinÃ©) traditionally influenced, high-energy, politically driven group comprised of two brothers and their sister. Born into the heart of a political land dispute area on Black Mesa in the Navajo Nation, this Family's powerful music reflects the Hopes, Freedoms, and Barriers of today's world. BLACKFIRE's style comprises traditional Native American, Punk-Rock and â€œAlter-Nativeâ€ with strong sociopolitical messages about government oppression, relocation of indigenous people, eco-cide, genocide, domestic violence and human rights. BLACKFIRE played their first show in 1989, since then they have toured national and internationally, with countless (literally) U.S. tours (including a recent stint on the Vanâ€™s Warped Tour), 10 European tours, treks to Canada, Mexico and even twice to the sub-Saharan deserts of Africa. BLACKFIRE only plays all ages venues, whether concerts, festivals or clubs. BLACKFIRE's independent releases on Tacoho Records are available nation-wide on Canyon Records. BLACKFIRE strongly promotes the respect of all cultures. They do many workshops, lectures and school residencies. BLACKFIRE sometimes combines performances with their Native American dance troupe, the Jones Benally Family. Check out this Indian Country Article. Get the Blackfire Contact Table!
