Hailing from Austinmer, a coastal town just south of Sydney in Australia, Shining Bird are a collective of friends who got together over their love of the sea, Australian cinema, Dennis Wilson’s ‘Pacific Ocean Blue’ LP and the great Australian poet Henry Lawson.\nFormed as a studio project by Dane Taylor (vocals\u002Fguitars) and Russell Webster (keys\u002Felectronics) the duo begun recording their debut tracks in 2011. The resulting work, a six track EP titled ‘Shade of the Sea’ was released independently in 2012. This release led to the band being named FBi Radio’s unsigned artist of the week and received plenty of praise across the blogosphere.\nQuickly following the release, the band enlisted Russell’s younger brother Alastair Webster (guitar) to begin work on writing & recording their debut album. They also added Nathan Stratton (bass), Riccardo Quirke (drums) and James Kates (percussion) to help develop Shining Bird into a live band. While recording what would become their debut full length album, the band played their first live show at a friend’s bar on Christmas eve of 2012 and launched themselves on to the live music scene in Australia during 2013.\nThroughout the year they supported a range of bands including Franz Ferdinand, The Drones, PVT and Unknown Mortal Orchestra as well as playing festival spots at Melbourne Music Week, Newtown Festival, At First Sight and The Farmer & The Owl. The bands live shows have earned them a finalist nomination for ‘Best Live Act’ in the Sydney Music, Art & Culture Awards.\nShining Bird released the single ‘Distant Dreaming’ in early 2013, receiving rotation on stations like Triple J and FBi. The strength of the band's live performances and positive response to the single led to them inking a deal with Spunk Records for the release of their debut album. The label launched the signing of the band with a clip to the single that has already been watched more than 250,000 times on Youtube and was named Rage TV’s ‘Indie clip of the Week’.\nOn September 6th 2013 the band released their debut album ‘Leisure Coast’ in Australia and backed it with their first headline tour taking in shows across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. On the back of strong reviews from publications such as Rolling Stone, Russh and the Sydney Morning Herald as well as earning Album Of The Week on ABC’s Radio National, the release helped propel Shining Bird towards a new bunch of listeners.\nSydney’s FBi Radio named the track ‘Distant Dreaming’ their third most played track of 2013, while the second single from the album ‘Stare Into The Sun’ was fifty fourth on their list of 100 most played tracks of the year. Channel V named ‘Distant Dreaming’ in their top 50 tracks for the year and Triple J Unearthed had the song in their Top 50 most played tracks of 2013. The album made its way into numerous end of year favourite lists and also placed at sixteen on the Mess & Noise readers poll for favourite album.\nShining Bird show no signs of slowing down following regular shows through 2014. They kicked off the year at Opera Bar in Sydney’s iconic Opera House before playing Sydney Festival alongside Kurt Vile, the sold out Secret Garden Festival and a well received national tour with New Zealand artist Tiny Ruins. Shining Bird have began work on their second album which is due for release in mid 2015, the first single from the album will be available in early next year.
