    Acclaimed avant-pop outfit BIRD NAMES charts a course southwest from their Chicago home to fill the world along I-70 with spirit!

    Thursday, December 17th — ST LOUIS — Mangia Italiano (3145 S. Grand), w/ SkareKrauRadio / Spelling Bee
    Friday, December 18th — COLUMBIA — The Hair Hole, w/ Jerusalem & the Starbaskets
    Saturday, December 19th — LAWRENCE, KS — Jackpot Saloon (943 Mass.), w/ The Dactyls / Bandit Teeth / Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk / Rooftop Vigilantes / Muscle Worship
    Sunday, December 20th — KANSAS CITY — The Pistol Social Club — EARLY SHOW (7pm) (1219 Union Ave), w/ Spaniel / Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk / The Blessed Broke

    Over the course of five full-length albums (including releases for Dan Deacon’s Wham City imprint), Bird Names has become an important voice in modern experimental pop. Bizarre, contagious, and soaked through in spirit, Bird Names elevates the truths of creative play into meaningful and timely art. Recommended for those into those into cough syrup, harmonic subversion, childlike joy, and the way-out.

    Bird Names tours in advance of winter ’10 European and UK tours, promoting their album BIRD NAMES SINGS THE BROWNS (on Upset! the Rhythm).

    THE FOURTH ESTATE SAYS:

    “One of the most well-crafted, unique, and far-out pop albums in recent years. ” — Tiny Mix Tapes

    “Instant weirdo classic, every song’s a winner.” — Ear Conditioned Nightmare

    “This band makes the Fiery Furnaces sound like Phil Collins.” — Daily Herald

    “They bang and clatter and hoot and howl, like Beefheart and Can and Os Mutantes shot through cannons into cockfighting matches. It’s bizarre and uproarious, disorienting and just plain out there. But my god, is it fantastic.” — Treble Magazine

    “Best of 2009″ — Impose Magazine
