Perth Music

Birds of Tokyo are a band out of Perth who despite their relatively short life time have already established themselves as one of Perth’s premier rock bands, regularly playing their own headlining shows at packed venues such as Amplifier and Rosemount Hotel and supporting bands such as Switchfoot, Jebediah and After the Fall.

2005 saw Birds of Tokyo release 2 EPs, the first “Self Titled” in January was put out as a teaser/demo and the songs received airplay on Triple J, 96fm, RTRFM, Base FM, FBI and PBS. The second, “One Way/Stay” a double A side single recorded in Melbourne with acclaimed producer Forrester Savell (Helmet, Full Scale, Karnivool), was launched at the Amplifier Bar in early October to a packed out crowd of almost 500 people with the single “Stay” nominated for the WAMi Rock Song of the Year Award and selected to appear on the WAMi 2006 Festival Showcase CD.

Acclaimed vocalist Ian Kenny (Karnivool) ’s side project, Birds of Tokyo’s music marries soaring vocal melodies with catchy rock based guitar hooks and a driving rhythm section, the live show is filled with an energy as raw, exposing and emotionally charged as it is energetic and full of foot-tapping rockin’ goodness.

Birds of Tokyo sold out the first show of the Sun Milk & Honey Tour at Amplifier in April 2006 and hit Sydney and Melbourne with a bang as well!! The band will be playing at The Rosemount hotel this Friday 12th May with The Dirty Secrets, The Sure Fire Midnights and The Bulletholes. They will then be playing at The Prince Of Wales Bunbury on 19th May, Three Bears Bar in Dunsborough on 20th May and a special acoustic show at The Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley with The Freudian Slips and Celladore.
