Performances
During these initial months On Fire was building their following on the solid foundation created by both former bands The Burning Paris and Placer. Garnering quite a bit of critical and commercial attention in the Northeast, due in part to the increasing reputation the group was receiving for their dynamic new material and unforgiving live shows, On Fire secured a few successful regional tours (taking the band to the Midwest) and an invitation to play CMJ. At the same time, the sextet began receiving and accepting offers to play for notable national acts like The Secret Machines, The Album Leaf, Mates of State, Mutemath, The Dresden Dolls, Wheat, American Analog Set, Ambulance Ltd., Matt Pond PA and Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, etc. - which further helped solidify their stature as one of Boston’s best original indie rock outfits – all while keeping a relatively low local underground profile. On Fire continued to play to growing audiences and began composing what would soon make up components of their second official release. The band also licensed ‘’This Time it is Forever’’ to Japanese label Waver Waver at the end of 2004.

Famous quotes containing the word performances:
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
