.. About A Birdsong Valentine .. The Chicago based group A Birdsong Valentine formed in early. Their mix of melodic vocals into hard hitting screams and passionate instrumental grooves makes the band a special treat to listen to. The live show is even better with a high energy performance by each of the four members. A Birdsong Valentine has had a lot of success in a small period of time. They were semi-finalists in the national Lollapalooza Last Band Standing Contest beating out over 2000 bands in the US and Canada. They were hand picked by Perry Farrel (Janes Addiction) and Chris Attal (Lollapalooza/Austin City Music Festival) to advance in the competition. In September 2006, A Birdsong Valentine was the featured artist on UBL.com which has 41.5 million unique users per month, which makes it one of the largest international music network behind itunes and yahoo music! (Source: Media Metrix, September 2006) The band had a great opportunity to open up for national touring acts "The Damnwells" and "Army of Me" at Double Door in Chicago. A Birdsong Valentine was also featured by Pabst Blue Ribbon LIVE AND LOCAL as a promising up and coming band in the Midwest. Miller Genuine Draft supported the band at all of their local shows with product and swag. The band was also apart of the 2006 Hostage Radio compilation CD showcasing some of the best talent in the area. The band is currently working with Emmy Award winning producer Freddie Breitberg on their new album "Giving in Again" which is expected to be released in Spring 2007. With the band coming up on their one year anniversary, people are excited to see what the next 12 months are going to bring. It just keeps on getting better and better. |
