The Birds of Tokyo are back in the Capital!

The UC Refectory is set to rock again on Thursday 13 February when Birds of Tokyo land in Canberra again as part of a small bunch of live shows they are performing around the country to welcome in the New Year. The celebrations include being a massive ‘O’ Week celebrations happening at the University of Canberra!

After recently appearing as the opening performance of the 2013 ARIA Awards at the start of this month, Birds of Tokyo are on a high having just completed a national tour of Australia supporting Muse in arenas across the country. What better way for the band to close a massive year and get geared up for one that is set to be even bigger for them!

We hear that creating the new album, ‘March Fires’ was a journey of exploration and reinvention for Birds of Tokyo. It’s a story of burning down the old and coming together to build something new. Spearheaded by the album’s first two singles ‘This Fire’ and ‘Lanterns’, the band’s fourth studio album debuted to #1 on the National ARIA Album Chart – the band’s first ever #1 record! The album was certified gold within four weeks of release, while the triple platinum single ‘Lanterns’ was the most played song on Australian radio in the first six months of 2013, and landed it’s spot nicely at #22 in the Triple J HOTTEST 100 on Australia Day 2014.
