FIRST EVER PUBLICLY VOTED ARIA AWARDS
MOST POPULAR AUSTRALIAN ARTIST
PLEASE VOTE FOR US HERE!

 

Hey there fine folk,

You gotta love it when the realisation sets in that summer is on it’s way. The warm weather that inspires going for a surf, having a BBQ or simply an excuse to get the lemonades flowing with friends! Here in camp birds we are privileged to be living in these feel-good times as the news of the week is that we have just been announced to perform at the 2010 ARIA Awards on Sunday November 7 at the Opera House. So get the make-up girls ready again, as our mugs are back on TV!! While Birds are up for six nods of approval, the most important gong is where YOU get to make all the difference as we have been nominated as the Most Popular Australian Artist in the first ever publicly voted category at the ARIA awards. So this is the one that counts and it’s up to you guys and gals to head to the site and simply click away HERE!

In other news, word on the street is that ‘Plans’ has been certified platinum (that’s over 70,000 singles!) and is officially the Highest Selling Australian Single Of The Year, so we’re officially handing over all bragging rights to you, the people who made it so…top effort. Speaking of singles, we recently shot a video for Wild At Heart in an enchanted forest which amazingly was tucked away in Dural, Sydney. While we’ve been lapping up the aforementioned warmth, this shoot swung temperatures in the much chillier direction…but I’m not giving anything away except for a teaser shot below as you should all get to cast your eyes upon the clip very soon. In the meantime, keep an ear out as our new single hits the airwaves in the coming week. We know we’ve made the right choice as every one of you out there with a set of pipes drowned out our in ear monitors on the recent tour…good work!

That’s all for now, we’ll say hi again from the Opera House!

Quickly come….quickly go!

Wow, like all good blood tests, that didn’t feel like long at all!

However, blood tests make you feel terrible…what, with the needle poking and all the blood….but you know you’re doing a good thing in your soul….this tour was more like the second part of that haemo-analogy only…was good for our souls and hopefully yours too!

We are so happy that you allowed us to indulge in such a grand scale of rockin and rollin’ and we really enjoyed your company very much. We also we really enjoyed the company of Silversun Pickups (quite possibly the sweetest band of souls we have met), and our younger musical friends in The Chemist! (oh and Emperors In Perth). We really hope that from start to end of each night, that peeps had a great time / show. We sure did! I drank lots of gin and dirty martinis…which is a sign of good times as i dont normally drink much at all. I can’t speak for the others however! Ha!

Huge thanks for everyone in the massive touring party too…a particular nod to the Hugo Chavez Regime also…we love you!

We now have much more to prepare for, but just wanted to say thanks for sharing (yet again) with us. I don’t think we will ever get tired of thanking people for support. You afford us the most creative headspace and parallel movements in the world. You fucking fascinating and handsome people…boys and girls….girls can be handsome too.
