Event information

Three-piece Liverpool band Bird is the creation of Adele Emmas (singer, songwriter), Sian Williams (guitar, harmonies) and Alexis Samata (drums). Together they create dark, haunting, atmospheric music that will entice you in to their magical, otherworldly universe. With beautiful, siren-esque vocals, tribal, hypnotic drum beats and spell-binding guitar work, Bird are refreshingly unlike anything that’s currently on the music scene.

After bumping in to each other at a 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 swapped numbers and soon after songwriter Adele and drummer Alexis invited Sian along for a jam where they realised 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 Records on which they released their first EP Phantoms back in November 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. After recently releasing their second critically acclaimed EP Shadows, the band are now starting to make waves across the globe.

Radio stations including Radio 1′s Rob Da Bank, BBC 6 Music (Maconie and Radcliffe, Tom Robinson and Steve Lamaq) and Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/Bella Union) on Amazing Radio have all recently featured Bird on air. 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 selected by the BBC, Bird attended a musicians workshop at Abbey Road and Maida Vale Studios.

‘Bird are fantastic – they’re destined for great things’ – Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/Bella Union)

‘This is such a young, rare talent. It’s like prime-era 4AD gold, with a Warpaint contemporary verve – a stone-cold winning set’ - Liverpool Echo
