Merry Christmas from le birds… have a free track on us!

Ho ho ho birdies!

Too cold to go outside? Contemplating braving the snow for a trip to the pub? Fuck that. Stay in and listen to our newest track ‘Lullaby’ which we recorded whilst on tour this year… and here’s the story behind it:

This is Bart.

This is us hugging Bart. He looks uncomfortable.

Here is his studio in Landbouwbelang, Maastricht.

He made it himself. It is amazing.

Whilst we we on tour this October he very kindly recorded and produced a single for us, entitled ‘Lullaby’. It’s a dark little country song we wrote the last time we were on tour… and now it is yours.

Now for the juicy part…. we are GIVING IT AWAY FOR FREE HERE. Happy Christmas from us!

There is an option should you wish to donate – anything you give (and please don’t feel obliged to) will go to Crisis at Christmas during the festive season. And please be sure to visit Bart’s website, and tell him how awesome he is! And check out the LBB where he lives too.

We would also like to thank YOU, dear birds, for all the support you’ve given us in 2010, it has been an amazing year.

Here are some of our favorite moments…

In February we made our third music video, for ‘I Always Hang Myself With The Same Rope’, if you haven’t seen it, WHYYYYYY NOT? Watch it now.

Later in the year we were lucky enough to record with Sir Marc R Norris (warning – this man is not actually a knight, no matter what he tells you) on our latest EP ‘Bigger Teeth’. It’s available here

At the Secret Garden Party we owned the Feast of Fools stage with our zombie soldier costumes…

In October we toured Europe with Bitter Ruin… and much fun was had… as you can clearly see here!

(Jesus joined the party in Holland)

(rocking out in Paris)

In November we met up and had pre-production fun with Jason Rubal and Roy Nash. We will be recording with them in Pennsylvania in March 2011 for our new album. Yes, NEW ALBUM. Can I please have a hell yeah?

(warming up before a night out with Jason… lunging is by far the best ‘pre-drinking’ exercise.)

In December we were interviewed by Tom Robinson from 6 Music, and Joel Hajioff from Total Rock Radio, wahey! If anyone has a recording of the TTR interview we would love a copy! (email band@birdeatsbaby.co.uk)
