Our latest single, “Lighting Fires on the Run,” is out now — recorded Live at Studio 606.

Captured inside the legendary room, this performance finds Cairo Knife Fight at full throttle—pushing sound, space, and energy to the edge. At the core is what drives this band: George Pajon Jr.’s razor-edged guitar work and Nick Gaffaney’s raw, dynamic vocals and drumming, locked in and completely unleashed.

Joining us for this session are two friends we deeply respect: Dave Lombardo on drums and Stu Hamm on bass. Their presence injected a raw electricity into the room that pushed the song somewhere new.

“Lighting Fires on the Run” has always been about momentum—forward motion, tension, release. Recording it live stripped everything down to instinct and connection, letting the performance speak for itself.

The “Lighting Fires on the Run (Live at Studio 606)” video is streaming now on YouTube, and the single is available everywhere.

Stay close. It only gets louder from here.

CAIRO KNIFE FIGHT

Redefining what two musicians can create live, Cairo Knife Fight are slaying audiences across the globe with their beautifully raw and primal uniqueness.

Formed in New Zealand, now dividing their time between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Cairo Knife Fight are:

NICK GAFFANEY on lead vocals, drums, and keyboard bass (all at the same damn time)

and

GEORGE PAJON JR. (Grammy-winning guitarist for some of the biggest names in the business: Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Carlos Santana, Macy Gray, John Legend, Nas, and Sting, just to name a few) creating seemingly limitless guitar soundscapes and incendiary riffs.

This band’s incorporation of various loops and live treatments defies believability and pushes the limits of what two musicians can do on one stage.

George and Nick recorded 20 new songs at Dave Grohl’s 606 Studio, in Los Angeles. Produced by John Lousteau (longtime Foo Fighters and 606 engineer), and the band themselves, the songs were recorded on the legendary Neve console from Sound City, the same console responsible for some of the biggest-selling songs and albums of all time.

Vocals were recorded at the band’s own studio in Los Angeles and were produced by Phredley Brown, best known for his work as Musical Director and guitarist for Bruno Mars and Katy Perry, and Vocal Producer on the hit television series American Idol.

The album was mixed by Dylan Dresdow (multi-grammy-winning producer/mixer: Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Usher, Black Eyed Peas, Nas, etc.) at the Future, the acclaimed Hollywood studio owned by Will I. Am of the Black Eyed Peas.
