Introducing Devonport band The Earlybirds. They are the first band to be signed to EMI Music under the new regime, and are about to take the country by storm. Managed by NZ music industry patron, James Southgate who brought New Zealand The Feelers and Anika Moa, two of New Zealand's highest selling artists. The Earlybirds are sure to follow suit!
The 5 piece band, lead by front man Filip Kostovich, Jared Aisher on Bass, Sean Patterson on Drums, and Kane Ter Veer and Mike Cannon on guitar, The Earlybirds are quickly gaining a reputation for delivering fast and rollicking melodies which are irresistible to dance to.
This youthful quintet, are no stranger to the local touring circuit, having already supported such bands as Pluto, the Checks, Midnight Youth and the feelers on their NZ Summer Tours. These boys have definitely planted the seed to becoming the next great rock band out of NZ. Over NZ Music Month this year they played at bFM's Fancy New Band Showcase, the Juice TV Showcase, and the 40 Hour Famine charity gig at Takapuna Grammar.
2009 has been a dynamic year, great momentum was achieved with the release of their debut single "Runaway". This track was quickly added to all of the major networks including The Rock, The Edge and ZMFM . Their video also achieved great visibility with high rotation on C4, MTV and Juice TV.
"I Killed The DJ" has followed strongly again picking up airplay on all of the same stations, and the killer video has achieved much critical acclaim. Make sure you check it out on our music page.
