Tomorrow night. Birds Love Fighting are launching 25 limited edition split tapes, featuring Killing Birds and JW Sparrow and the Miner Birds (with cover artwork from Steven Pennington).

“Since the tracks were recorded both artists have re-written, quit, reformed, rehashed and rehabilitated their musical aspirations to bring the world the Two Birds tape. Killing Birds have lost their drummer James, and have reformed with a new drummer and an extra guitarist. Meanwhile JW Sparrow & the Miner Birds has since changed his name to Orbits. Which indicates an appropriate direction for his improvising psych-lo-sci-fi style. But don’t let change get to you, there is plenty of action on the tape. Three tracks from JW Sparrow & the Miner Birds (Orbits) and four golden grunge tones from Killing Birds.” (BirdsLoveFighting.com)

Kicks off at 9pm

Killing Birds are a guitar & drums two piece who formed somewhere in Canberra earlier this year. They finished their first EP Her Joy last week without even having played a show yet (at least I think they haven’t). No doubt they are big Nirvana fans with the EP sometimes sounding like the lost B-Sides to Nevermind. Regardless of that, these guys have written some great songs. The eight track release will be out sometime next month, I’ve only posted the first track Plume, if you want a copy get in contact with them at their Myspace or keep your eyes out for them live, apparently they’re tight as fuck.
