Earlier this year, Birds of Tokyo played a handful of sold out shows in Auckland and Wellington alongside the band’s blistering Big Day Out Auckland. Lead singer Ian Kenny expressed “It’s always amazing to be able to visit another country (albeit I often think of NZ as the relatives across the road!) and receive such a huge positive response from both old and newer fans who dig our music. We just want to keep coming back and playing shows.”
Birds of Tokyo’s award winning single ‘Plans’ has sold over 100,000 copies in Australia. It was also quickly embraced locally becoming a Top 10 airplay hit in the country and the song will officially hit Gold status this week in New Zealand.
