AccuRadio Song Of The Day-Birds of Tokyo


Artist:Birds of Tokyo

Song:Lanterns

Album:March Fires


Birds of Tokyo have been very successful in their native Australia. The 2013 single Lanterns is their biggest hit to date. They are from Perth, Australia. In 2004, Ian Kenny was lead singer of Kamivool. Tragic Delicate guitarist Adam Spark asked Kenny to sing demos for songs he planned to sell. The results were so good, they decided to form a band. Other members were Miki Cee on guitar, Anthony Jackson on bass and Adam Weston on drums. The group name came from an article about no birds in Tokyo's business district due to high density. After releasing an EP, Birds of Tokyo signed with Aussie label MGM for the 2006 album Day One. Their first two albums were successful enough that they signed with EMI for the 2010 album Birds of Tokyo. This was their most successful album to date. The single Plans reached #11 on the Australian Singles chart. By this time Cee and Jackson were replaced by Glenn Sarangapany and Ian Berney. The 2013 album March Fires was even more successful. It topped the Australian charts. Lanterns reached #3 on the Australian Singles chart. Since then they have released two albums. Superglue was released last year. They moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and toured the US. But that was temporary and they are back in Australia. Here's the video for Lanterns by Birds of Tokyo.
