Hello der Patrons,
Here is the interview (of which some of you asked the questions)
Enjoy 27 minutes of me rambling on to my manager Simon about the events of last year, this year and answering your questions...
The interview takes place while I was on holiday in Bali so you can hear chickens and genera...

Happy Sunday Patrons!
As promised here is the official music video for ALL PATRONS to see. I had an amazing time working with Feline and Damon on this. I'm sure they'll be many more collaborations with these guys in the future...
The public release of the video will be sometime next month so please keep it secret for now ;)

Hellooooooo Patrons!
Mishkin here. Blogging from Queensbury Airport, New Zealand, or possibly Melbourne, Australia depending on how fast I can type! I've been in 5 different countries in the last few days and my timezones are totally fucked up. I'm no idea where/who/what I am but it's been very exciting... I've lots of inspiration for new music and creativity, and this will probably be the last holiday I'll have in a long time.

Hi guys,
This reward is for the patrons above $3 so if you want to edit your pledge (even momentarily) the time is now... ($1 fear not you will get first dibs on my new music video with Feline, also feel free to ask questions, they'll be featured in the video either way)
If you guys have any questions about the band, life, anything just ask away.
My manager Simon will be conducting the interview and throwing in a few questions of his own :) 2018-02-13 04:41:47 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello Patrons!
Welcome to my February blog... hope you're getting through the month ok?
I hear you need a bit of Birdeatsbaby in your life to tide you over to the Spring. I thought it was high-time for another blog.
It's my birthday today (well, yesterday, it's 2am now) and I'm thirty-fucking-three. I'm about to outlive Jesus.

Hi guys,
Soooo this month's Patreon was a bit of a challenge.
January is a strange and sometimes rather bleak month... it was difficult to decide whether to do anything at all to be honest. As you know from my previous blog life has thrown me a couple of curveballs so it's been pretty difficult mustering up creative energy... but that usually is all the therapy I need.
I've always got a li...

So tomorrow we start work on the new album "The World Conspires" in the studio. The session starts at 6pm (UK time) tomorrow and then 3pm on Thursday. Expect swearing. And many many drums.
This is a chance to hear the songs before they are even really songs.
We'll stream the session via webcam on the HAWKS FACEBOOK GROUP.

Hello beautiful Patreons,
As you might be aware this month's Patreon main "thing" is a duet between me and Feline (of Feline and Strange) and I'm very happy to finally release it to you guys.
It's called Cassandra's Twin and is about the prophecy of Troy from the oracle Cassandra.
Hello Patrons...
I'm currently residing in Rome taking a much needed break from life with my good friends David & Valentina.
They live in a beautiful flat with a beautiful piano that they have given to me as a home-away-from-home.
They feed me pasta. They let me sleep till 2pm. I am restoring myself day-by-day to get ready for the New Year before all the BEB craziness starts again.
David is an amazing guitarist, singer, bass player, flautist (and I've probably...

Hello lovely $3+ Patrons,
As promised here is our PJ Harvey cover + a home-made lyric-video for you, enjoy!
---
This song has always spoken to me.
There's something incredible about the dark obsession that the mighty PJ Harvey has always been able to channel into her music.
Her lyrics are sublime, simple and often quite sexual without it being attention-seeking. I feel she is able to encapsulate any kind of raw emotion and put it across in song-writing...

Hello everyone!
So I've completed the main "THING" you'll all be receiving this month for everyone on the $1+ tiers.
It's a home-made-stop-frame music video made by me (and my manager Simon) while we were on tour in Scotland earlier this year.
This video is fairly simple, sort of botched-together as a bit of an experiment but I absolutely love it.
For some reason I think it shows a different part to my personality. Most of the photo...

Hope you enjoy!

As promised here is my cover of Blue American by Placebo.
It's a simple arrangement on piano, cello and vocals but I feel it captures the bleakness of the song.
Enjoy!

Hi guys,
Mishkin here. I feel like I've been a bit quiet on the Patreon front recently so I'm sorry for the silence.
I plan on rectifying that, so this is a little helloooo from me to touch base, check in and see how you're all doing.
This month has been a strange one for me, I've still recovering from the (literal) hurricane of our USA tour and having a bit of a rough time if I'm totally honest. My depression can be a bit of a monster sometimes and it has a tendency to swall...

I hope you're having a pleasant Saturday.
Let us ask you a question... Have you ever been listening to a Birdeatsbaby song/album and wondered... what the heck is Mishkin on about? I mean, seriously, what-the-actual-fuck-is-this-song-trying-to-say-if-anything-at-all?

This is what happens when you buy 4 animal costumes and head out into the unsuspecting streets of Brighton...
The concept of the video to "Spit" was kind of "farm-animals-gone-rogue-and–get-their-own-back". Those of you who know us know we're a band that care deeply about animals and all four of us are vegan... but mostly with this video we just ...

Dear Patrons,
This month we have made you a rather special cover as a "thing" for you patrons! It's been a teenage dream of mine to cover a Korn song, and I'm now very proud to present Freak on a Leash.
It's got a bit of a BEB twist on the original, but still includes enough growly vocals and guitars to stand up to it. We're very proud.
The story goes one night late at the studio I convinced Forbes (after a lot of alcohol) to cover this song. He's no...
