Hello Flock,
Every now and then a musical collaboration comes along in my life that makes me ever so slightly more excited than usual. This is one of those collabs.
To be honest, I can believe that this hasn't happened already. Georgia and I have known each since the ice age, and been fierce friends, supporting each other in our hardships and celebrating together in our accomplishments. I can honestly say she is the most ambitious and hard-working musician I have ev...

Hello lovelies, I'm doing a foraging livestream tomorrow... would around 2pm suit you all? I've no idea what we'll find but I promise it'll be fun.
I don't know how good my connection will be up in the downs but I'll be attempting to stream to the Facebook group (unfortunately I can't do multi-channels on my phone yet) and uploading to other channels afterwards so nobody misses...

Dearest Patrons,
It's Thursday again, and yet another livestream.
This time Hana and Mishkin are kicking off the first ever HVIRESS "gig" where we will be acoustically performing the three songs from our upcoming EP, as well as some Hana Piranha and Birdeatsbaby tunes too.
Tune in on Facebook here or if that's not your thing I'll also be attempting to stream through 2021-03-04 16:43:31 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello wonderful patrons, Mishkin here.
How are you all? Welcome to March!
I had a great day today.
I did some teaching... practiced accordion... piano... went for a run and started ticking lots of things off my to-do list. For a Monday that's pretty spectacular.
I buzzed about with emails, meetings and messages and felt really connected to other humans. Things that I've been thinking about for a while are coming to fruition, and suddenly I feel the future is looking br...

Dearest patrons,
ARRIVAL has dropped.
Do you remember this song?
From the HEIRESS (now HVIRESS) EP me and Hana put out last year on patreon?
Well, it's been re-mixed, mastered, and on top of that, we've also put together a music video, directed by the wonderful Scott Chalmers, and starri...

Dearest Flock,
Would you believe we've been part of Patreon since 2015? And many of you have been supporting us there since the day we joined.
That's almost 6 years... 68 months... and about 214 "things"!
We have no intention of stopping there.
We've chosen Patreon as our main platform (alongside bandcamp) as we think it's the right one for us. We also think it's fair.

To my favourite people of the internet!!!
I am over-the-moon to release this.
An official song from my new band MISHKIN FITZGERALD & THE CHEMICAL PERILS.
My collaborator (and now good friend) Jonny Parlett features on vocal to complete this charming and somewhat sad country/folk song, "I Only Get What You Give Me".
It's been a labour of love, with all the musicians involved passing wav files across emails and messages. Not being able to meet ...

Dearest Patrons,
I'm not going to lie, this January been a little bit like this song - kind of a rough one.
Everything is generally fine and ticking away as much as it can do, but the ongoing lockdown in England is really starting to grind. I've had hardly any contact with anyone, no face-to-face lessons and a couple of days ago I got a bad flu meaning no work/exercise/practice. I am waiting on the results of a covid test, and my mental health is a bit low.

Dear Patrons,
It’s 2021.
Well, we survived 2020 to enter another year already plagued with chaos and uncertainty. While things still look quite grim out there, I am hopeful that things will get better and we can take some steps forwards.
We as a band would like to thank you for being with us through the roughest year we’ve had as musicians, ever. Your support has been our saving...

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Season's Greetings, Happy Solstice or just happy-end to a fucked up year. It's goodbye 2020, hello new future.
So. They say that God never closes a door without opening a window... well, Birdeatsbaby believe that the Devil never unleashes a pandemic without creating a cartoon. Or something like that.

Dearest Swallows,
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas break?
We have another "thing" ready for you.
A couple of months ago, Hana and I (and of course Simon) travelled to High Wycombe to be filmed by some film/audio students.
The whole thing was arranged by a friend of ours who runs the Uni course, Gary Emmins (from Filthy Spectacula).
During this year of no festivals/gigs/travelling of cours...

Good evening wonderful flock,
This month comes to you in violin form.
Ms Piranha has been toiling away in her new studio bent over her harp with bleeding fingers to bring you this astonishing new rendition of "The World Conspires", the title track from our last record.
It literally sounds like she's poured her blood, sweat and tears into it. This song was emotional enough already but now it's just become an orche...

Hello you gorgeous bunch,
I've been busy as usual opening new projects and finding interesting musicians to work with. One of my students-turned-friends has now become a collaborator. He is a dance producer and his name is Tomos.
Together we are "Little Tomkins", the dark-rock-EDM duo intent on writing some very weird mashups.
This is the first song off the EP (yet to be titled). The track is called Cracklin' Sage and inspired by some dark ele...

Finally I am able to catch up with the remaining rewards for October.
May I present you with the studio video for Silent Heroine.
I am hope you enjoy it as it shows a little bit behind-the-scenes and who's-singing-what.
Thank you to Anna, Hana & Aiym for making this, Matas for editing, and Garry for producing. We have an amazing team and we know it.
Thank you for helping us create this! More coming soon...<...

Dearest Patrons,
Well, this month just flew by!
It’s a great time of year, Halloween. October 2020 has two full moons, one on the 1st and one tonight so I’ve felt very… spooky. Even more so than usual. Must be a witch thing.
Anyway, I am very pleased to announce our release this month: A three-way song combo from Dorja, Hana Piranha and Birdeatsbaby.
The working title is ‘A Silent Heroine’.
Evening lovelies! I'll be online at 9.30 briefly to check in with whoever is about... tonight's theme is BOOKS. Please do bring one to share if you like and I shall share what I've been reading during lockdown. No music tonight - Garry is in the studio working on the "thing" so I'm in the kitchen ha!

Hey guys,
How's your October going?
It might seem a little quiet on the Patreon front but underneath I promise I am pedalling like a mofo to get everything completed for the end of the month... along with our first and only "gig" this year coming up FAST.
Anyone else feeling the pressure this month? Or perhaps the opposite? A bit bored?
Either way, I'm a little more anxious than I should be and I thought to myself: Talking is good. Communication is good. Socialising is...

That's right. An actual venue. An actual stage. An actual (small, but real) audience.
We'll be playing at St Pancreas Church on November 6th, and webcasting it to the world. We're working with the Camden Live team to brin...

Hello wonderful patrons,
Here is the lyric video for "Ruins".
Edited by Matas (who did our How The World Conspires documentary). It features footage filmed by Nigel of Vienna Ditto of an old ruined abbey somewhere near Oxford.
Hope you like it, I think the glitchy visuals makes the song come to life...

Welcome to Autumn.
It is officially that little bit colder, darker and I’m feeling it.
I’m absolutely dreading the return of my arch nemesis: The Cold. I’m making plans to move somewhere warmer… but until then, I must continue on, wearing big jumpers and avoiding the outside as much as possible.
