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.
