About

Birdpen are Mike Bird, Dave Pen (Archive) and James Livingston Seagull. They formed in 2004 and refuse to say where they actually come from, because what is the point and what difference, no really, does it make to whether you like their music or not? They refer to home as The Village. Do they mean the global village , Village of the Damned or something else? Who knows, they won t reveal.

The band released three EP s, 1 in 54, Be Yourself and Fake Kid between 2004 and 2006, and in that time they ve been wearing the black Birdpen uniform and thrilling crowds across the UK and Europe with their 21st century Doom Groove show. In 2007 Mike and Dave were asked to contribute songs to the Archive album Lights, and Dave hooked up with the Archive collective to tour it, a moment captured on Live at the Zenith, which Rolling Stone Europe describes as the best live album ever.
