Unconventional multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter/producer Lee Christian drops scathing solo summer scorcher ‘Fake Fyre’ at the end of May to mark the proposed date for the return of famed fiasco
Fyre Festival (which itself, tellingly failed to materialise!). It’s a summer dance anthem for anyone bored of their summer fun being ruined by people constantly documenting life in pursuit of online fame that gives the social media glitterati a verbal thrashing that would make the harshest stand up comic blush. If it sounds in anyway un-fun, guess again! It’s an upbeat holiday bop with pounding beats, sky-high synths, funky guitars and Lee’s signature stacked harmonies - un-depressed mode or nine inch smiles, maybe? It features Lee’s wife Grace db from The Prohibition Smokers’ Club (appearing at festivals in summer!) providing the high backing vocal. She also filmed the music video while they were honeymooning in Tobago last December and works as a social media professional - sewing a little secret BTS irony into the lining of the track.
The pumping ‘Prodigy-goes-pop’ production comes courtesy of The Filthy Honey, Lee’s ‘Best Man’ and cohort in Boywithatoy - their only track currently available on streaming is the Cameo-esque
The Killer Species, which sits comfortably next to Jarvis Cocker on The Electronic Bible Part 1, a 2000’s compilation made by Ann Shenton of Add N To X and Andy Fraser, the bassist in Free… which actually still sounds, erm, All Right Now!

His twelfth album S0ul 4 N0thing (the first since pandemic themed concept album Pandemoria’s Box in 2022/23) is scheduled to be the final album on Quickfix Recordings to stream, in protest to the poor royalty rate and increasing reliance on A.I. and its inherent artist copyright issues. Lee keeps himself busy with production jobs for a wide array of clients & music industry consultancy for bands & artists. He’s also remixed tracks by the likes of MC Tunes, Foals, Shed Seven and the entire Quickfix roster, including Jennie ‘Bellestar’ Matthias & guitarist Kellindo Parker.
With 20 years in radio and a decade plus in online media, Lee is a seasoned presenter, now via monthly indie music show The Fix on Totally Wired Radio, interviewing collaborators like laptop rap pioneer MC Lars & Ace from Skunk Anansie and musical heroes like Living Colour/Black Rock Coalition founder Vernon Reid & riot grrrl inspiration Katie Jane Garside.
He loves a good chat - some might say too much! - so if you would like to interview him, make sure you have a pro zoom subscription, a comfy chair and pair of soft headphones!
Catch him live at festivals this summer, invading podcasts and radio shows and generally being a disruptor and provocateur online - findable of course on the social media links below, posting lots of pics and clips from his life to prove just how much better it is than yours, of course! ;-
