Artwork Revealed!!

Hey there lovely Patrons!!

Thought I'd just send you a patron-only preview of our album cover art (by the amazing Jack Flamel) for our new record. 

We got the masters back yesterday and it's just sounding incredible.

We'll be feeding you guys some new songs from it before everyone else very soon.

Our next single is going to be called "Temple" and we're filming the video THIS WEEKEND. Expect some behind-the-scenes action ;)

Mishkin Tour update!

Hey guys!

Just a quick hello from Leicester where I'm playing solo tonight. Tour's been great so far, I'm loving the shows and meeting some wonderful people :)

I recommend checking out Vesper Walk (theatrical piano band with 5 singers!) and the beautiful Flora Greysteel (piano drum uke glock triangle two-piece), who I played with last night. 2016-07-02 15:26:36 +0000 UTC View Post

BIRDEATSBABY - Live in Prague "thing"... and Mishkin speaks to patrons only TONIGHT!

Hello birdies!!!

I'm on a complete high today having finished all my vocal work for the new album "Tanta Furia" last night. I genuinely think it's my most ambitious and best work yet. For years I didn't really feel like a proper singer but I'm actually so proud of this, I can't WAIT for you to hear it!!

Anyway, on to the next "thing"... it's our very first LIVE ALBUM: Birdeatsbaby - Live in Prague - 16.04.2016. Beautifully recorded by the people of Klub Rybanaruby. So if you ever...

Also the "Mishkin Interview Thingy" will now be TOMORROW NIGHT 9-10pm UK time. If you want to tune in, please head to the 2016-06-27 10:29:14 +0000 UTC View Post

GOSPEL CHOIR TONIGHT!! And next "thing" revealed...

Hey Patrons!

We're back in the studio tonight and are having a full on gospel choir (The Dulcetones) sing on two tracks (Mary and Deathbed Confession) from the new album. I went to a rehearsal last week and it's already sounding incredible, so I can't wait to see how this turns out...

We'll be streaming the session LIVE for the $25+ Patrons tonight from 7.30pm-ish but don't worry if you're not on that tier. We'll film it anyway and make a little video for you a...

Album news! Live Recording from Prague! Patrons chat with Mishkin!

Hi guys,

Mishkin here. Just wanted to write quickly to you all (as we've been doing a lot of posts for the higher tiers recently) and say HELLO!

We're very hard at work in the studio working on the new record and we now also have a release date. FRIDAY 5TH NOVEMBER. Releasing a record on bonfire night (Americans you might have to google this) just seems so apt for us. Mainly because this record will be pretty explosive, haha.

As you might have heard, it's going t...

Seraphim available to all Patreons :)

Hi Patrons!

So sorry for the delay on this, I tried to send it this morning but was unable to get Wifi. 

I'm back home now so without further ado here's the link to download my new album. Hope you like it!

"Seraphim" - THE ALBUM for your eyes/ears only...

Good afternoon Patrons!

Mishkin here, writing from the lovely town of Bochum, Germany. I’m currently on tour with She Owl, an Italian band based in Germany/San Fransisco. If you’ve not yet sampled their blend of Tribal/Folk/Alternative then I highly recommend: https://sheowl.bandcamp.com/

So… today I promised you my new solo album “Seraphim” and the moment of waiting is over!! As promised I will...

A little hello from Mishkin + new song revealed...

Hi guys!

Lots of exciting things happening at the Nest, I'll be doing a mega-blog soon to reveal all, but for now hopefully this will keep you going :)

Love & Feathers,

Mishkin xx

Thank you! And tour video diary coming soon...

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say THANK YOU again for supporting us for the "No Mirror" video we just put out. We were able to work with Workbench Productions again (who did our epic Muscle Museum cover), and able to fund it because of you!!

Can't tell you how grateful we are that this Patreon thing is working... it's truly amazing!

For those of you on the $50 tier, I am currently preparing your limited edition merchandise and it will ship by end of the month.

"No Mirror" music video revealed! And funded by YOU!

Hello gorgeous Patrons,

We've been a little all-over-the-place since returning from tour last week. It was an emotional rollercoaster and one of the most physically draining tours we've ever been on (I think I may have aged a decade), but we loved every single minute of it.

For that reason we're a little late in revealing our new music video to you guys (sorry). We had hoped to get it out to you last week but, alas, time was not on our side... 

However, you are *st...

The album has started...

Hello there Patrons!! We've been on tour but we're back now... Much much more to come soon!! Love & Feathers, Birdeatsbaby X

Thank you!!

Hey there Patrons,

Tomorrow we kick off our 5th European Tour. I'm a mixture of excited and nervous, it's been a while since we've toured but I know it'll be great to be back on the road!

I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you for helping us fund our latest music video "Baby Steps" that was released yesterday.

All of this is happening because of you.

THANK YOU!!

If you feel like sharing the video, that would be also be epic.

See yo...

BABY STEPS - the music video! + Mishkin solo songs

Hello Patrons!

This month's "thing" is the beautifully dark and twisted Birdeatsbaby video to "Baby Steps". (starring me and Hana of course!)

We couldn't be more proud of this, and it's all because of you that we were able to create it... THANK YOU!

The video is officially out April 4th, so please don't share it for now.

If that wasn't enough, do you remember the free Mishkin solo webcast we did? W...

Next "thing" revealed...

Hello hello hello beautiful Patrons! 

Mishkin here. Hope you're enjoying the start of your Easter weekend. I'm spending mine in the countryside on a little break away for the craziness... but of course I found the Wifi ;)

I can now reveal the next "thing" we're going to release this March.

Drum roll please....

This "thing" is a brand new music video of our new single "Baby Steps". 

Remember the epic song we sent you back in last year that <...

THANK YOU!

Hey there beautiful patrons,

I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you to everyone who pledged for the David Bowie song "thing". 

It was our biggest one yet!

We wanted to let you know, this Patreon thing is making such a huge difference to the band. For the first time since our Kickstarter in 2012 we've been able to fund recording costs, replace old equipment, and book more tours because we can actually afford to! 

Basically it just mean...

David Bowie song released!

Hello lovely patrons!

Happy Monday to you all... without further ado I'd like to give you all this month's "thing" which is our cover of Life on Mars by the incredible legend David Bowie.

We really hope you like it, we put a lot of love into this track.

It's attached here as mp3, but if you'd like it as a different format you can find it on dropbox:

Next "thing" is announced!

Greetings to our beautiful Patrons on this fine Monday morning... it's Mishkin here. I've been exceptionally busy last week adding all piano-related-goodness to my NEW SOLO RECORD ARGH! :D

Apart from that, we're very excited to reveal what our February "thing" is going to be. 

As our new single "No Mirror / Baby Steps" isn't out till April 24th (with music videos to match and oh-my-they-are-probably-the-best-videos-yet), we sat down and had a think about what we could put ou...

Hi guys I'm in my piano-cave working on the CLASSICAL BOOK of music I'm writing, should hopefully make some videos of the pieces soon but just thought you might like to see some progress!! We'll have our February "thing" ready shortly....so excited!!!! Love & Feathers, Mishkin xx

Here She Comes-a-Tumblin' - Full Album Live

Hey there beautiful birds!

Happy Friday!

Some Velvet Morning when I'm... straight

Hello Patrons!

It’s Mishkin here.

Happy 2016! I hope your January is going well… it’s pretty cold in england right and I just got back from a trip to Sri Lanka so I’m really feeling the freeze, brr!

Sorry we’ve been a little quiet lately but I’ve been having some much needed rest after the craziness of last year, and now I’m ready to seize 2016 by the balls. 

So, this month’s “thing” is a duet that I did with my g...

Merry Christmas Patrons

Hey guys!

I hope you're all feeling festive and enjoying a bit of Christmas Cheer! We're winding down at The Nest after one of our busiest years so far... here's a quick round-up video-blog from Mishkin to give you a little insight into what's to come in 2016...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thanks for all your support in 2015, we'll see you in 2016!!!

Hello guys! Nearly there...

Hey patrons It's Mishkin here typing away on the Patreon app which has been a long time coming. So far so good :) I'm ABSOLUTELY SHATTERED right now. This weekend we had our webcast (which I hope you thoroughly enjoyed), where we played every single Birdeatsbaby song... It was amazing but hands down the longest and hardest gig I've ever done. We were sooooo tired. Yesterday me and Hana were shooting he music video to "baby steps" which will be out next year. I'm editing a video blog for yo...
