1*A FLAMING STAR BURNS OUT: FLAMING STAR GOETTINGEN CLOSING 12.11

All good things must come to an end…or at least this one must.

Sadly, we have to inform you of the closing of our most favorite shop…Flaming Star in Goettingen. We were proud to be a part of this collective project, and of our role in helping to give it shape, form, content, and style. We are also extremely thankful to the group of people who either as part of the collective structure or just by showing up to hang out, helped carry it for these 18 months and fill it with life. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons the challenge of holding a physical space of that size in the middle of Goettingens inner city, was too much, and as of November 12th the store will be closing.

Unfortunate as that may be, for those of you around Goettingen, it does present an opportunity to pick up things you might be interested in from all the labels the store carried at very discounted prices. You have until November 11th.

If you never had a chance to visit the place, this is what you missed:

2*NEW FIRE AND FLAMES WEBSITE COMING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS / HUGE DISCOUNT ACTION

To temper the bad news, some good…after what feels like decades of work and suffering (and over the next few weeks will only be getting much worse before it gets better)… THE NEW FIRE AND FLAMES WEBSITE IS ALMOST READY, and should be online before the end of the month.
We will let the page speak for itself when you see it, but trust us, it is VERY different and improved, and thats all we will say about that for now.

But, since it is a huge amount of work to move everything over, we are selling a lot of items which we will not be re-stocking, or where the label has shut down (RIP Uptight Barcelona), of which there are only a few left, etc. so as to minimize how much we have to enter into the new page. This means big discounts on…

-All Catarrhini shirts.
-Most Uptight 65 shirts.
-Quite a few Fire and Flames designs.
-Obrint Pas shirts and some Partisano designs.

To see the discounts, just click here and select „Search By: Brands“ and „Raeumungsverkauf / Sale“ category.

3*OFF TOPIC

-Yes, the new Antifa Kalender / agenda has arrived.

-Yes, there will finally be a new Fire and Flames Spring collection this coming year…we are already working on giving over 10 concepts form.

-Yes, there will be a „Hate the State Volume 3″ next year.

-Yes, we do realize that next year will mark 10 years of Fire and Flames, and yes, we do plan to hopefully celebrate it with an outrageous 10 Years of Fire and Flames festival.

-Sad as the loss of Flaming Star might be, if you are in Hamburg we suggest the recently opened „Black Ferry“, and in Geneva as of the 10th of November, „La Brick“. Both of these you can find on Facebook, and both of these well stocked with Fire and Flames. Black Ferry we have already introduced you to, here are some first images of La Brick in Geneva…

Out with the Old, in with the New: Jacket Discount Action

As you might know, we rarely do discount actions or other gimmicks of the sort. And when we do, there is usually a good reason. Well, this time, there are two. In general, we are aiming to have the new webpage ready by early September (it will be the difference between the stone age and the space era!) and the more stuff we can get rid of, the less the work of entering new items into the new shop. So, look for quite a few discount actions over the next few weeks.

In particular, we begin again by drastically reducing the jacket prices. Why? Because we are again working on the newest round of jackets (mainly sweatjackets) for this Fall. Some new designs, some classics will be back, all are incredible.

Long story short… all jackets are up to 50% off for at least the next couple of weeks. Here you are…

And of course, still for 9€ the one you are all going crazy for…

Copenhagen: Patchanka CD Release Party and New Merch

Our good friends from Patchanka will be celebrating the release party for their upcoming album, „Normalize This,“ this Friday at „Global“ in Copenhagen. Not only did we not want to miss the party, which will also include several DJs and surprise special guests on stage, but we have also done our part to make the evening even a little more special.

So once again, as was recently the case with Konecho, designed by „Corte“ and Powered by Fire and Flames, we present to you the new Patchanka designs…

„Music for Mind and Soul“


(Also available in gold, as a hoodie, in „girls cut“ black and „girls cut“ gold)

Stars

(Also available as so called „girls cut“)

Finally, small yet cute…

The shirts actually arrived in Copenhagen before we did, and clearly the excitement amongst some of the band members and their friends was big, as the following picture documents…

We leave you with some sounds. Not new, still good.

PS Weve had the pleasure of hearing some songs off the new album yesterday, and its excellent. A little teaser…

The Great Catalogue Update Part 9: FF Goes Euro 2012 and Re-Stocks / Atlanta Barras Go Hollywood

No, this isnt like with South Africa, Fire and Flames is not going to Poland or the Ukraine. As should be obvious, its not futbol we like…its Atlanta, Racing, and every four years, when the bug bites, Argentina in the World Cup. And with the exception of Argentina, what Racing and Atlanta do on the field unfortunately rarely has very much to do with what most of you would recognize as futbol. This in part why this blog has suddenly gone so quiet as far as futbol is concerned…its just been very depressing lately (the other part is simple lack of time). Atlanta, with three games to go, is fighting desperately to remain in second division, while Racing has been the source of one absurd scandal after the other, even one including a player drawing a firearm in the locker room.

Anyways, what we mean with „Fire and Flames Goes EM“ is our contribution to keeping you all part of the „in“ crowd as far as the mass insanity of the moment is concerned. So, for the occasion we have re-printed the great „Hate Germany“ shirt. Other suggested items of the moment…


No explanation needed.

For decorating your surroundings…

And finally, a bit of something to read about how much different of a form futbol and that which surrounds it can take…

The futbol related aside, after re-issuing a whole series of classic Fire and Flames designs last month, the next round is coming this month, with all the following designs being again available in all sizes…

*1945

*Class Pride


*Old School


(Bordeaux as well)

*Revenge

Finally, to start and end with futbol…

Tonight, at exactly the same time as Germany – Portugal, but much more strongly recommenden, our beloved Atlanta has a life or death game in the struggle to avoid relegation to third division. So, if those in Göttingen hear wild shouts of celebration, even though on your screen no goals have been scored, you will know why. It wont be the first time…Racing won the relegation match 2008 at the same time as the last Euro final, leaving many in the Rote Strasse wondering why people were wildly yelling „goool“ when nothing was happening on their screens. :-)
(If you are looking for even more altenative entertainment, Argentina vs Brazil is also taking place parallel to the Germany game…)

We leave you with a video from a coming sensationalist „documentary“ on Argentine barras in which Atlanta is very prominently featured…

Fire and Flames Update: Bad Jackets for a Good Price, Pins/Patches/Shirts Available Again

We posted this on our Facebook page yesterday, and apparently (and surprisingly) everyone went crazy…setting an all time record for orders in one day. Really not the result we expected when we finally decided to put these very badly produced jackets which have been sitting in a basement for a year and a half online for 9€ each. But since everybody seems to love them, here is the info…

„KEIN UMTAUSCH / NO RETURNS!

This jacket was originally supposed to be priced at around 65EUR. Reversible, hooded, cotton on one side, waterproof the other. It was going to be great.

But sadly, something went terribly wrong in production, and we recieved hundreds of jackets which are definitely unfit to sell. But instead of throwing them away or letting them sit in boxes for another several years, we are selling them for well below production price. At a price where you can use them a couple of times and if you then need to get it rid of it, its not such a big deal. (Its even cheaper than the „Demo“ windbreakers, which are made just for that!)

Also…you *might* get lucky and get a jacket with less problems that might actually last you a while. Most likely though, you will get a jacket with one or more of the following problems…

*Hoodie is so small, it is for decorative purposes only. Your head probably wont fit!
*Really tight around the shoulders, really loose around the waist.
*Bad stitching.
*Smaller than usual. Please order one size bigger! „

Also anything except new, but available again and in this case properly produced…

Finally, keeping with the „classics“ theme, as we mentioned recently, a whole lot of classic shirt designs are available again in all sizes.
