THE Birds of Tokyo fly into Coolangatta this week as part of their run of national shows.
After making their way around Australia performing shows with Muse in capital cities, they are also returning to favourite haunts in Coolangatta, Fremantle, Newcastle and Wollongong.
The band is the headlining act for the Homebake Festival, performing on the closing night Sunday 8 December. This year, the newly located Homebake will take place at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt and surrounds and will lead directly into their Coolangatta gig – they should be cooking by the time they reach here.
Having completed a national run of sell-out shows earlier this year, Birds of Tokyo received rave reviews for dates across their ‘March Fires’ album tour.
The National Airplay Chart hit ‘Lanterns’ has exceeded triple-platinum sales and was the ‘Most Played Australian Song on radio’ for the first six months of this year. Their fourth studio album ‘March Fires’ debuted at No. 1 on the National ARIA Albums Chart and is scheduled for release in North America early 2014.
