Fire & Theft is a musical collective of three people: Matt Carlton - programming, keyboards etc, his sister Becky - vocals, and Matt Lovett - guitars and sporadic bass. Taking ambient breakbeat, rock, jazz, and a host of obscure 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s avant garde music, mixing that with a big dollop of Angelo Badalamenti and Ennio Morricone alongside that certain “can’t put your finger on it” quality will bring you at least part way to forming a mind’s ear idea of Fire + Theft.
Their first single on Narcotix Inc. “The Essential Philosophy E.P..” created quite a buzz on the “downbeat / crossover” scene, as did the follow-up offering “Shelter”.
Brief potted histories:
Matt Carlton - Old hand in the studio, in - house engineer for Stage One’s happy hardcore labels (J.A.L., Stompin’ Choonz, New Sensation, & Happy Jacks), many happy hardcore releases of his own (under various tags... Justin Time, Helix, Ballistic), finds Fire + Theft to be the perfect antidote for rave-induced stress, lethargy, and headache.
Becky Carlton - Trained singer and actress (and YES dancer but not model!), numerous T.V. appearances, season with the Royal Opera Company. Once in her renowned Fire + Theft outfit she becomes her stage-self completely; charismatic, compelling, and sometimes just a little scary.
Matt Lovett - Old hand with a packet of Rizlas and half a B & H, long standing member of rock combo Cherrie Bomb, likes to make his guitar do things it wasn’t designed for, and of course when it screams; the tape starts rolling.
