History
The Wildfire Wildfire project was founded in 2005 by Devon Deimler and Matthew Papich while students at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD. While there, Deimler and Papich became friends with many musicians of different influences and were inspired to collaborate and curate shows according to their own aesthetic. A website was created and managed to announce independent local shows of their liking and often featured drawings of local bands as a visual element.
In 2006, Wildfire Wildfire became a record label as well, intending their first release to be a Baltimore mixtape by Cex.
In addition to releasing records, Wildfire Wildfire has also hosted dozens of DIY music shows, many notably at the warehouse space Floristree in downtown Baltimore. In 2007, they collaborated with Dan Deacon to curate and host the Whartscape Festival, and in 2008 collaborated with Floristree to present Full House Festival, which included a performance by the Krautrock band Cluster.
Matthew Papich is also a founding member of Ecstatic Sunshine and is currently the band's only permanent member.
