After bumping in to each other at a local gig one evening, Adele and Sian bonded over their mutual love for artists such as Leonard Cohen, Kate Bush, The Cocteau Twins, Warpaint, and Fleetwood Mac. The girls decided to swap numbers and soon after songwriter Adele and drummer Alexis invited Sian along for a 'jam' where they realized together they had something very special to give.
The trio have since gone from strength to strength after signing to independent record label Jack To Phono on which they released their first EP 'Phantoms' back in October of 2011. During their 2011 tour, alongside their sold out EP launch, the band have built up a large, loyal fan base in their home town of Liverpool and other areas of the UK. Now set to release their much anticipated second EP 'Shadows' in August 2012.
BBC Radio stations including Radio 1's Rob Da Bank, BBC 6 Music's Maconie and Radcliffe, BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson and Dave Monks at BBC Radio Merseyside have all been playing Bird on air for the past year. The band have also had their music featured on Channel 4 and have had various magazine articles published in NYLON magazine, Bido Lito and many more. After being especially selected by the BBC, last year Bird attended a musicians workshop at Abbey road and Maida Vale London where they got the chance to meet the likes of Jo Whiley, Steve Lamaq and Zane Lowe. Bird are set to have a big, long lasting career ahead of them.
