http://www.thedelimagazine.com/burlington Welcome home, Nightbirds NECTARS AUGUST RESIDENCY After an extensive summer tour, Nightbirds return to Burlington with a Monday night residency at Nectar’s. Beginning on August 4th, they’ll play late night from 11 – 2 a.m.Nightbirds have graced the Deli’s pages before; I’ve written about their ghostly vocals and ambient roll. They’ve truly got a unique sound that will draw a large crowd seemingly out of the woodworks. Months on the road could have only matured their sound and made them tighter. They’ve been promoting their new album “November Moon,” which was just released this May – an EP come full-length.The above picture may seem incriminating, (hey, you don't want people to see it, don't put it on MySpace) but I decided it was appropriate - Nightbirds have an acoustic background - their melodies ramble along like a poem, but to me, this accentuates their a punk rock undertone. It’s like a rawness they’ve hog-tied.So if you don’t think I’ve gotten it quite right, just check them out for yourself next Monday. Or the one after that, or after that… -The Deli Magazine PRESS RELEASES: The Nightbirds are poetic. Clear and concise while projecting from a sound that fits gently alongside the likes of legends such as Neil Young, early Bob Dylan, and Jeff Buckley, like it or not, it’s true. Except that the band does not strive for these lofty aspirations. The Nightbirds are effortlessly themselves, and while one may attempt to classify them, it is as though these comparisons set out only to draw people to them, helping them to be heard, because really, they should be heard. -Taylor Bratches, Northeast Performer Magazine Nightbirds ghostly vocals and guitar riffs from the depths totally encompass any room they enter. California will know they are serious. -Adena, The Deli Magazine You guys are seriously awesome!!! -Katie, Skratch Magazine Kicking off with "White Light," the band delves into a sound not unlike that of early Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The rapid electric and acoustic riffs with almost ghostly lead vocals give the music a sexy, dusky feel. The Nightbirds maintain a great contrast between wavering, light melodies and syrupy guitars on the following track, "Nightmares," evoking vibes of looming danger and impending doom. -Miriam Lamey, Northeast Performer Magazine The price of gas alone seems like a fair enough reason for bands from Vermont to avoid trekking all the way out to Denver. But the Burlington outfit Nightbirds are nonetheless coming to town for a two night stand (Fri 6/20-Sat 6/21.) Nightbirds specialize in quavering, drenched-in-mystique psychedelia- that still manages to come on as gently tuneful. -The Onion Denver, Colorado A while back, I caught the band in the intimate confines of Radio Bean and was immediately struck by Shinosky’s aching tenor. His voice is simply gorgeous. -Dan Bolles, Seven Days Nightbirds EP- Swaggering, tremulous vocals and heart-on-sleeve distress that wash over you like warm rain. A near perfect brand of sadness. Brenden swaggers and croons like a young Jeff Buckley. -Vermont Times I would like to use the track "White lights" I am digging the Song! -No Cover Magazine Speaking of talked-about, The Nightbirds garnered attention on the Burlington scene this year thanks to this five-song EP that sets a mysterious indie-rocking mood with spacey guitars and Brenden Shinosky’s haunting vocals. They’ll be reaching ears outside of their hometown in January with a tour of the East Coast and the Midwest. Brent Hallenbeck, Burlington Free Press The Nightbirds' sound is reminiscent of Pink Floyd's early psychedelic years with singer/songwriter Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett. Sarah Webster, Asbury Park Press The Nightbirds will be celebrating the release of their Debut EP. With hints of Tom Waits, early Dylan, and Beck, and the energy of the Ramones, the night will surely rock into the late evening. -Monkey House Everyone knows that on stage, Brenden is the active, unpredictable one: swiping at the drums with his guitar, tempering hardcore yells with soft, passionate pleas, and collapsing onto the floor as layers of emotion leave his body exhausted. -Tonya West, Towncraftmovie.com I will go and tell them how good they were. "Live on WRUV radio" -Jeremy Ayers, Burlington Free Press Meshing well is no minor accomplishment, due to Shinosky’s one-of-a-kind vocal style. He sings like a resurrected Jeff Buckley, with an operatic, tremulous wail that adds sweetness to the snares and riffs, and a haunting quality to the acoustic numbers. -Colin Ryan, Williston Observer span style="text-align:center;position:absolute; background-repeat:no-repeat; height:32px; width:100%;left:0px;top:200px; background-image: |
