Following the release of the album 'O’ Mighty Vision', BirdPen now take to the road on a 20-date tour of mainland Europe. The band will be performing songs from the latest album, which sounds like:
“a grand canon of synthesizer pioneers such as Silver Apples and Tangerine Dream and the deep driving motorik sound which isn’t too far from the realm ruled by krautrock greats like Can and elements reminiscent of contemporaries Total Control & Holy F*ck”
The band will play to crowds across Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium and Poland.
To coincide with the tour BirdPen will release a single of the moody electro banger that is ’Tookit', a song about how people in charge of the finances of the planet skim from the top and keep taking and taking until there is no escape from their greed. Alongside the single is the brooding b-side track ’She Knew' and remixes from Archive and Robin Foster. The ‘Tookit' single will be released on March 3rd 2017.
The band also has a thumping six track live EP digitally available worldwide that was recorded from their last outing on the road in Paris on a ship on the Seine. Listen to the EP and single ‘Tookit’ here.
With the band working on all of these outlets seeing BirdPen live is a must see for anyone who wants the real deal, with meaning, honesty, passion and fuzz filled amplified electro doom groove rock!
