Bond Street Bridge 'Birds' Tour with Rosy Tin Teacaddy

Monkey Records is pleased to announce the release of a summery little gem from Auckland artist Bond Street Bridge. The new song 'Birds' is the first single from Bond Street Bridge's forthcoming sophomore album, due for release in early 2010.

In this catchy wee number, Bond Street Bridge, aka Sam Prebble, reflects on the mating habits of New Zealand's paradise shelduck, Tadorna variegata. These striking brown-and-white ducks generally mate for life, and pairs are a common sight in open country in New Zealand.

Prebble says 'I spend a lot of time driving around the country for shows and whatnot, and anthropomorphising the wildlife is a good way to pass the time. I have to concede that the birds in this song are probably not really in love, but based on the way they tend to sort of sit next to each other and not really say much, they sure look like they are.'

Bond Street Bridge will be touring in December to promote the new single, which will be available for download through amplifier.co.nz and monkeyrecords.com. A limited edition EP with hand-printed cover art by Emily Cater will also be available at the shows.
