Stewart Lupton, Singer for ’90s Band Jonathan Fire*Eater, Is Dead at 43

Stewart Lupton, the singer-songwriter whose short-lived ’90s band Jonathan Fire*Eater burned fast and bright, falling short of major-label rock stardom but inspiring a wave of New York acts in the early 2000s, died on Sunday in Salt Lake City. He was 43.

Though they released just two records in the Nineties, Jonathan Fire*Eater set the stage for a generation of New York City indie-rock bands – including the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol – that rose to prominence at the turn of the century. Lupton was a swaggering, theatric frontman with an enveloping bellow, though he also had a penchant for all the trappings of rock & roll excess.

The cult New York band, driven by Lupton’s ‚gut-wrenching genius‘, influenced Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol

Es gibt Bands, die haben Erfolg. Und es gibt Bands, die haben Einfluss. Jonathan Fire*Eater gehörten eindeutig in die zweite Kategorie. In den Neunzigerjahren entwickelten sie jenen punk-infizierten Indierock, der so vielen Bands aus New York City in den Nullerjahren gigantische Karrieren ermöglichte – blieben dabei aber immer unter dem Radar.
