The Theater Fire

Alt Country band from Fort Worth, Texas comprising of,Don Feagin, Curtis Heath, Mark Castaneda, Jess Brakefield, Sean French, & Nick Prendergast.

The earliest roots of The Theater Fire run all the way back to 1995, when songwriter Don Feagin and bassist Mark Castaneda formed Vena Cava with a couple of friends. In the next five years, they would recruit multi-instrumentalist Jess Brakefield, songwriter Curtis Heath, multi-instrumentalist Sean French, and drummer Nick Prendergast. After a few months playing and writing with this lineup, the band realized how quickly the sound had progressed, and how little the new songs and sounds resembled what had begun as Vena Cava. With a debut release and many shows on the horizon, the decided to change the name, and start anew. Their self-titled debut was released on Christmas Mountain Records in 2003. In 2006, the follow-up LP Everybody Has A Dark Side was set for release on the upstart Dallas indie imprint Undeniable Records.
