"The Wireflys didn't disappoint, mesmerising the audience with a passionate, organic and rather large sound for a three piece. The Wireflys played an amazing, dynamic set that exceeded my expectations." - Indie Initiative
"A very tight unit indeed, with Benjamin Pile driving the band in the Spinal Tap 'exploding drummer' tradition. Definitely worth catching if you spot them in a whatson." - Sydney Indie Media

The band is now armed with all the right tools to construct a massive live show & are ready to now show you why they deserve your eyes and ears.
