The members of Dames Aflame were friends in middle school. The bassistdiscovered his love of music by listening to his grandfather's collection of records. Dames Aflame began playing at City, a college club. The band used to sell their records out of their truck on campus.

Dames Aflame was discovered after their single was heard on a local music hour on X102.5. The bandwas headlining shows soon after they started playing live.

Dames Aflame knew that living life as a musician was a actual possibility after Kathy Hemmingway started a fan club for the band in 1981. After the group’s first North American tour, the fan club grew from the couple dozen fans who heard the band play around Charleston to the thousands who heard them play from New York to California.

Members of Dames Aflame hope this next tour brings in more fans than ever. The group just completed their most current record, and they are thinking of what is to come next. Dames Aflame's newest release is the group's first since the band members went to work on independent projects five years ago.

The group has always had a good time in Champaign so they make sure to play there every year, even if they are not promoting anything. Dames Aflame's performances always have the audience singing by the end of the show.
