Perth Music

As a band at their beginnings, Birds Of Tokyo are already ahead of their game. As ‘Off Kilter’, the new single from Birds of Tokyo’s debut album shows, that magical essence of greatness is right there, glittering and beckoning… and that’s but one song of many. With their debut album ‘Day One’ due for release in February next year, Birds of Tokyo are pleased to announce a national run of dates to coincide with the release of ‘Day One’.

Fronted by Ian Kenny - the bombastic singer known Australia-wide as the voice of Karnivool – Birds Of Tokyo are essentially a Frankenstein’s monster made up of individuals whose long-standing impact on the Perth music scene continues to be felt to this day. Not only as musicians and supporters of the ever-blossoming Perth music scene, but as producers and respected figures of what is now an emerging industry.

Even with an established fan base that has crossed over from Birds Of Tokyo’s Karnivool and Tragic Delicate connections, the sudden rush of popularity of the band has stunned even its members. Few bands generate such a groundswell so early on… and next-to-none do so without even trying. The massive initial success of Birds Of Tokyo has come from the punters… not the media.

‘Off Kilter’, the first single to be serviced to radio has been added to triple j and community radio across the country. The spine-chilling chorus may narrate a tale of the end, but for the band itself the song is a bold and promising beginning.

Don’t miss Birds of Tokyo on their Day One Album Tour.

Tickets for all shows on sale from Friday 15 December.
