New Song Obsession: “Waiting For You” by Basement Birds

“Waiting For You” is the first single from Aussie supergroup Basement Birds. With Josh Pyke, Kav Temperley, Kevin Mitchell, and Steve Parkin all lending their creative talents to the project I knew I’d love it. And I do, even though it’s not the sort of song that grabs you by the throat. It’s perfect Sunday arvo fare, the kind of thing you’d stick on while entertaining friends or recovering from a big night out.

Introducing Basement Birds, Australia’s Latest Supergroup

Basement Birds may be a new name on the music scene, but chances are you know these guys already. This new outfit features four of the most talented songwriters in the country: Kav Temperley (Eskimo Joe), Kevin Mitchell (Bob Evans, Jebediah), Steve Parkin (Autopilot), and Josh Pyke.

We’ll get our first chance to hear what magic this quartet can create in late June. Four three-track bundles will be released via iTunes on a fortnightly basis. Acoustic versions of each track will also be released every alternate fortnight. Fans can also enjoy more exclusive content via the new Basement Birds website.

With four such talented members, something tells me Basement Birds are going to be big!
