HCTB Set to Rock Splendour In The Grass After UncharTED Win
Winners of UncharTED – Here Come The Birds Set to Rock At The Splendour Weekender
With a brand, spanking new video clip for their track ‘Bravery and Defeat’, a spot on MTV with popular hostess Ruby Rose and a cool $20K now under their belts and a spot at Splendour In The Grass – there will be no stopping Musicadium artists Here Come The Birds. They were announced as the winners just last night, and as we had a chat to them prior to this we want to pass on our congratulations to the boys took home the grand prize.
Congratulations on playing at Splendour! Which artists are you itching to see?
The line up is awesome this year but if we had to narrow it down to three I would say Gyroscope, Sigur Ros and Cold War Kids
What would have been your favourite gig that you have played and why?
Our EP launch has definitely been our favourite gig to date. We sold out the venue with over 400 people and they were all there to see us perform our new songs, the atmosphere was amazing.
If you could collaborate with any musician/s living or dead, who would they be?
That’s a tough question, I guess we list some of our current influences as Gyroscope, Bloc Party and Brand New and I would have to say that they would be some amazing bands to work with. They all have different styles that make them unique and it would be great to get an insight in to their song writing process.
You cite Muse as one of your influences, and I have noticed that your guitarist’s last name is Bellamy - was that just a lucky coincidence?
They are actually cousins…..no not really it’s totally coincidence but we wish they were related, we could tour the world with one of our favourite bands!
What are you up to for the next couple of months? Where can we expect to catch a show?
Apart from the Uncharted competition which is kind of ruling our world at the moment we are just keeping up business as usual. We have some gigs coming up at:
The Cambridge Hotel – Sat 26th July (Newcastle)
Mum @ World Bar – Fri 15th August (Sydney)
(ed. And now SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS - Aug 2nd and 3rd, Belongil Fields, Byron Bay)
Thanks so much for your time guys, love your work!
