This week, Billy jumped on the phone with Ian and Adam from Birds Of Tokyo who are out and about promoting their new single and tour. In just a few short years, the band have risen to the top of the charts - not just at home but around the world.

Adam and Ian talked about the early days finding their sound and how quickly they realised they had something special and within a couple of weeks of meeting, they were in the studio recording their first EP. Within a week, The Greatest Mistakes is already broken into the top 100 chart on Shazam, currently at #85.

The Greatest Mistakes is the follow up to their previous epic betrayal anthem Good Lord, which is fast approaching Double Platinum and was the most played Australian song of 2019’s second quarter. Frontman Ian Kenny explains, “It’s actually inspired by the same personal experience as the last single, but it’s got the perspective of thankfully being a bit further down the road. F*** it. Shake it off. Time to move on"

They’ll be performing at The Forum, Melbourne on September 26th as part of their near sold-out Australian tour. Birds of Tokyo have won the APRA Award for “Best Rock Work” a record five times and received multiple ARIA Awards, plus numerous gold/platinum certifications. They are also one of the country’s most popular live acts featuring on every major event that matters - from the AFL Grand Final and the State Of Origin Rugby League to Falls Festival and Splendour In The Grass.

Ian and Adam talked to Billy about personal pain that lead the new direction for the band, the power of a good beard, having fun making video clips again and more.
