Feuermusik was an experimental jazz duo originating from Toronto, Canada, active between 2004 and 2010. The group was established by Jeremy Strachan and Gus Weinkauf, former members of Rockets Red Glare, and was distinguished by its unique instrumentation, combining saxophone with percussion performed on amplified plastic and metal buckets.
History
In 2004, Strachan and Weinkauf initiated Feuermusik. Their independently released debut album, Goodbye Lucille (2006), received considerable rotation on campus and community radio stations. The song "Doppelspiel" from this album earned a nomination for the 2007 Echo Songwriting Prize.
The duo's follow-up album, No Contest, came out in 2008. Throughout their career, they maintained a presence in the Toronto music scene, occasionally incorporating other musicians into their performances. Their notable festival appearances included Sappyfest in Sackville (2009) and the Halifax Pop Explosion in 2010.
