Hello my dearest demons...
A little look into last month's adventures!
- recording the final song from HEX
- Hana Piranha rehearsals
- a wet weekend in Norfolk picking mushrooms
- death growls vs pianos
Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned I'll be posting another HEX - The Electric Sessions very soon.
Love & Feathers,

To my dear demons...
Surprise!
It's yet another exciting month on Patreon here and I am thrilled to be sharing with you some beautifully crafted live sessions from the album HEX that we've been keeping secret for some time.
Rumour has it there are big changes afoot here (I shall be making a video announcement before 2024 regarding Birdeatsbaby) but in Patreon land, things are just going to continue to grow...
You can expect more amazing content, ...

Dearest Demons,
The ARCANA EP has just hit bandcamp! But good news for you lot... seeing as you all helped to fund this, you get a free download of the masters right now!
Thank you all as always for making these ideas into a concept and then a reality. You have no idea how incredible it i...

Dear Patrons,
It’s been yet another month of madness here… still holding on by the seat of my pants, but I am so happy to be able to share with you this:
A brand new song.
One I’m very proud of too.
This song (and all remaining from HEX) is now so super-secret that I must ask you to not share it with anyone at all.

Dearest Demons,
I wanted to share with you my belated vlog from September which includes some rather excellent highlights and some top secret stuff that I've been wanting to share with you for some time.
Also lots of Catherine Elms + my trip to Wales, the making of ARCANA.
I've also got my PHOTOBOX ready for you which includes mostly pictures of donuts. I ate a lot of donuts this September. There's some other stuff too.
To My Dearest Demons,
I am back (more-or-less) from the abyss. It’s been a rough couple of weeks but I’m feeling a little better, a little more rested and dare I say a little more focused.
I’ve been practicing, teaching and stepping out into the countryside as much as possible. Things are starting to flow again but it definitely feels a little bit of a heavy load this month.
It doesn’t help that the darker days have crept back in and I’m looking into th...

Dearest Demons,
Before I tell you what's to come this month, I need a very sad announcement. In case you didn't see on our Discord thread or socials, my beloved pug and best four-legged friend Henry passed away this week.
It was a little bit unexpected that it would happen this soon, so I am understandably quite devastated and waiting for normal life to resume beyond this huge change. He was by my side nearly ever...

The final song from ARCANA.
Is there anything more terrifying than drawing the Tower card in tarot?
In Cath's words:
I love how dramatic and powerful this card is! Often misunderstood as solely a card of destruction, for me it embodies those life-altering moments that shake us to our core, forcing us to rebuild from the ground u...
2023-09-30 11:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostDearest Demons,
May I present track number 3 from the ARCANA EP - The High Priestess. One of my favourite cards, this represents looking inwards, and the future as yet unrevealed.
Once again, in Cath's words:
This has been an important card for me in more recent years, as I focus more on nurturing my intuition and trusting my inner wisdom. It emphasises the importance of trustin...

Hello my dearest demons...
Over the weekend I'll be sharing the final two tracks from the ARCANA EP ("The Tower" & "The High Priestess") I've been working on with Catherine Elms. How exciting! I can't wait for you to hear it into in it's entirety.
For now I will leave you with my video blog from August. It includes some tasty pianos, a swimming pool, a feral cat and some vocal bits from the final songs from HEX.
Enjoy!
Love & Feathers,
Mishkin

2023-09-28 18:52:25 +0000 UTC View PostTo my dearest demons,
We're moving on now with song #2 from the ARCANA EP with Catherine Elms. As we haven't added the real drums yet this is going to be a more demo version but plenty going on for you to enjoy! My personal favourite bit is the 5/4 breakdown at the end and all the overlapping voices. What do you think?
In Cath's words... RUIN (10 of swords)
Hello my dear demons…
I hope you all enjoyed the Catherine Elms ARCANA livestream? It was a really fun time for me in Wales and I’m still buzzing from the countryside and wholesome activities. If you missed the livestream then it's available forever for patrons here.
It was a great ev...

Hello everyone,
Just in case you missed it, here are the links for tonight's livestream we go live in 20 mins!
Hello hello hello from Wales,
I've just arrived and happily sitting in Catherine Elms' lovely lounge with my feet up. Vegan burgers and chips are on the way and I am about to have myself a big UNPLUG.
Ahhh... For me an "unplug" is not about wearing pjs and eating crap for a week in front of the telly (while that is nice too hehe), but I'm happiest when I'm being creative, exercising, producing content and enjoying something that is generally half work and half pla...

See what I did there with the blog title? Hehe, I’ve had my Wheatabix today.
Yes indeed - you have some shiny new songs ready for your ears only. Don’t / Lights Out is a split single from The Qwarks feat. Mishkin Fitzgerald.
I really enjoyed the process of wr...

Just a quick video update this time.
I would normally type a tasty blog but this week am working double teaching shifts all week + rehearsals so this was made quickly on my lunch break. No rest for the wicked hehe.
Amazing things are happening to Birdeatsbaby... Hana Piranha and HVIRESS. There so much epic news, content and behind-the-scenes stuff about to unfold, right here on Patreon. Don't go anywhere please... I shall look forward to seeing you al...

Dear Patrons,
Happy Friday. Hope you are all well and happy?
I'm coming to the end of a particularly busy/crazy period. Recently I’ve been feeling rather overwhelmed by all the things going on, but really the hard work and commitment is paying off and it looks like all the seeds that were planted a long time ago are about to burst into bloom! Here we go...

Dear patrons,
This month started off pretty shaky - thank you for bearing with me while I got back on track.
The last few days has been incredibly positive in so many ways, I’m hoping the curse has lifted and I’m out the other side now! How are all of you??? Tell me your news.
Speaking of news… I have something potentially huge to share with you which I can’t reveal quite ye...

It's been a crazy week with massive highs and some pretty deep lows. Thankfully, it's the weekend and we've got a very special treat for you - an epic livestream to celebrate the completion of Wingspan - the soon to be released album from Hana Piranha

Hi Patrons
So I’m going to wade in first with some not good news.
Last night while rehearsing with Hana Piranha our van was broken into. Thankfully no musical instruments were in it but my laptop, studio headphones and a whole bunch of Hana’s merchandise and personal items were taken. We’re a little shaken and sad about it, but we're ok, these things do happen (especially in London).
The fallout is It’s going to take me a few weeks to get back on track - the la...

Hello lovely Flock,
It's time for my patron vlog from last month!
It features "Stupid Questions with Cath" as well as the behind-the-scenes recording with Ms Elms, the latest Hana Piranha music video + shoot, catching up with Georgia Train and moaaaaarrr.
This month is going splendidly well I have a lot to catch you up on, but for now I'll leave you with this rather excellent video.
Thanks for being here.

Dear Demons,
Just a quick update to let you know what's coming (hopefully) by the end of the month.
Thanks to your support and advice from the last blog, I've been able to stick to more creative things this month, such as writing and recording. It has been such a welcome relief. I'm on the cusp of finishing multiple songs now (including lyrics!) so I think whatever you get at the end of ...
