Madison, WI's Fire Town is chiefly remembered because of the band's relation to Garbage. Comprised of Duke Erikson (vocals, guitar), Phil Davis (vocals, guitar), and Butch Vig (drums, percussion, mount vocals), Fire Town's light, jangly crop up fed college wireless with some other dose of tintinnabulation guitars and folk-rock harmonies in the later '80s. Vig and Erikson were previously in the radical Spooner. After Spooner broke up, Davis, Vig, and Steve Marker (guitars) formed the passing First Person in 1986. A class later, Davis, Vig, and Erikson collaborated again as Fire Town, cathartic the LP In the Heart of the Heart Country. The album received praise from Rolling Stone magazine; however, it was as well tame regular for pre-grunge alternative wireless. The television for "Carry the Torch" concisely snared MTV's care, just Fire Town was baffled in a soaker of similar-sounding artists. Fire Town recorded some other album, 1989's Good Life, before calling it quits. In the early '90s, Vig's production work on albums from Nirvana, the Smashing Pumpkins, and L7 heightened his status within the alternative rock-and-roll community. Vig reunited with Erikson and Marker in the toughie band Rectal Drip, essentially a fill out mathematical group for canceled gigs. The iII became Garbage in 1993, adding vocalizer Shirley Manson in 1994.
