Basement Birds

 

Greetings my feathered friends!

 

Basement Kev here with another little bloggity blog about all things Bird.  Although this is not actually just any old blog, for it seems I have been lucky enough to be entrusted with the official “Release Day Blog”.  I’m not sure exactly how such good fortune happened to come my way.  Some would suggest that it was simply my turn to write a blog.  Quite possibly.  It matters little.  The fact is that the stars aligned and the universe dideth speak.

 

I believe it was Spidermans gramps who said as he lay on the road, slowly dying, “with great power comes great responsibility”.  Baloney!  Those are nothing more than the crazy ramblings of a wounded old man!  What he meant to say was “with great responsibility comes POWER and lots of it Boyo!”  So it is with a hugely inflated ego that I take on the task of writing this blog.  There is a bit of pressure involved in following up Kav’s blog, entitled “Edge of Release”.  That’s an incredibly exciting title.  It sounds a bit like the name of an erotic thriller, or perhaps an eighties “new romantic” tune.

 

As you can probably imagine we are all brimming with giddy pride at our creation and I can reveal to you, in all seriousness that I feel quite relieved about that.  When we first started this project none of us knew whether we would create something together that we would love just the same as that which we create ourselves.  Fortunately over time the record took shape, you might say, like the ugly duckling that turned in to a beautiful swan.  I listened to most of the album just today and I really enjoyed it.  For the record, my current favourite songs are “Ghosts”, “Skin Of The Sky”, “Hamilton Hill” and “Holly”.  “Cinnamon & Smoke” also makes me smile.  Hopefully that song gives you, the listener, a sense of what it was really like in the recording studio when all of us were in there together!

 

Alas, this is no time for indulgent contemplation, for as one chapter ends, another begins, (unless of course it is the final chapter, in which case that would mean there would be no more chapters to follow.  But for the sake of my metaphor, just forget about that).  We will soon be taking the show on the road and that means we will have to rehearse our fluffy little feathered backsides off to make sure the show is as special as the one I routinely fantasize about when I lie awake in bed at night.  Of course, the fantasy show in my head does include a few little extra special moments that I dare not suggest to the other guys.  Steve hates musicals and I’m pretty sure Kav and Josh wouldn’t want to dress up like the little kid in the bee costume from the Blind Melon “No Rain” video.  If you are unsure or too young to know what I’m talking about, check out the clip here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlAwvz8uwc

 

Anyways, the “Good Evening & Good Night” tour begins in Adelaide on August 12th and travels through Perth, Melbourne, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney and Brisbane.  I know many of you have probably already got your tickets but in case you haven’t, please snap them up here: http://www.basementbirds.com.au/tours/  to avoid disappointment!  We shall be playing all the songs from the album plus a few choice Aussie covers!

 

Our new single, "Not The One" has just gone out so ring up your favourite radio station and ask them to play it.  We even shot a clip for it!  Look! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKLyzmxvpzU

 

Right, well that’s me done I think.  On behalf of all the Bird boys, I would like to extend a massive thank you to everyone who has been downloading the bundles, pre ordering the album from JB Hi Fi and going to their local record store to buy the album from a shelf.  We sincerely appreciate all your support and look forward to showing our gratitude to you all when we hit the stage on tour.

 

Cheers!
