Formed in Perth in the early 2000s, Birds of Tokyo have grown from indie beginnings into one of Australia’s most popular contemporary rock bands. Since their 2008 breakthrough album Universes, all five studio albums have reached the ARIA Top 3, including #1 releases March Fires (2013) and Human Design (2021). Hits like “Lanterns,” “Good Lord,” “Plans,” and “Two of Us” have dominated radio, with more than 70 songs played on Triple J. The band has also won the APRA Award for Most Performed Rock/Alternative Work a record six times.
Renowned for their powerful live shows, Birds of Tokyo have performed at major festivals and alongside artists such as Muse, Midnight Oil, Incubus, and Bon Jovi. Their recent single “Starlights” supports the Starlight Children’s Foundation, featuring artwork by children supported by the charity.
