Pyrotechnics and rock music are nothing new. Before there was Kiss, Jimi Hendrix famously set his guitar on fire at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. But an Indianapolis band have taken on-stage pyrotechnic to new heights—and risks.
Indiana band Church Tongue—named for a kiss between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer—have become known for setting fire to their guitarist, Chris Sawiki, while on stage, indoors, and a mere several feet away from the audience, reports Metal Injection .
Sawiki doesn’t seem to have sustained any injuries yet, though on the same day that footage of their most recent show with Beartooth band in Terre Haute, Ind., went viral, the guitarist sent out a c ryptic tweet that said , “I’m a f—ing idiot.”
Otherwise the band whose pyrotechnics are like a ploy for attention seem to be happy about their spreading notoriety. Their taking full advantage of their momentum, having announced tour dates yesterday.
