“While principle songwriter Stephen Artemis grew up in Albany enthralled by the sounds post punk and 90′s grunge, The Falling Birds yield a much more raspy voiced folk-rock sound that is full of highs and lows, brassy harmonica and the kind of story-esque lyrics that bring to mind someone like Bright Eyes.” – Anchor Shop Admin, Anchor Shop (Apr 24, 2014) View the full review at: http://anchorshoppresents.com/falling-birds-announce-debut-ep/ “We’re throughly enjoying this EP from NYC’s Falling Birds, whose fuzzed up garage rock recalls the The Black Lips, but with a dash of Bright Eyes’ folky storytelling sensibilities and a smattering of classic rock’n’roll thrown in for good measure.” – Mad Mackerel, The Mad Mackerel (Apr 25, 2014) See the full review at http://madmackerel.org/2014/04/25/introducing-the-falling-birds/ The Falling Birds at the Highline Ballroom?!

It is a cause that is near and dear to us. If you or any of your family members have been effected by heart disease then you’ve probably benefited from the AMA so come lend your support, and your dollars, if you can! See this link for tickets. Charity is charitable! The Highline Ballroom, Wednesday, May 7th… show time is 7:00pm It was almost a year ago to date that The Falling Birds were last at the Delancey… My how time flys. Join us at 7pm on Saturday May 3rd when we hit the stage and get your rock on early. The show is hosted by our good friends at Turnstyle Music Group so there will be plenty of great acts to follow. The Delancey is located at 168 Delancey Street, between Clinton St. and Attorney St., practically underneith the Williamsburg Bridge. PS. the rooftop is open. It is with great joy and exuberance that we announce our debut at New York City’s infamous The Bitter End on Friday April 4th! We are playing the headline slot at 11pm, doors open at 7pm. The Bitter End is New York City’s oldest rock club and its stage has hosted many of our personal hero’s including Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Miles Davis, Neil Young, Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Van Morrison, Billy Goel, and Marvin Gaye. We are ecstatic to have this opportunity and we hope you will come join us. The Bitter End is located at 147 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10012 – between Thompson and LaGuardia Streets. The Falling Birds will play Arlene’s Grocery at 95 Stanton St, New York, NY on Wednesday February 19th at 9pm. Please see our Facebook page or sign up for our mailing list for notifications. Arlene’s Grocery (yes, it was a grocery) opened its doors in 1995 – breaking ground in the then treacherous Lower East Side. Upcoming bands flocked to the seedy neighborhood to experience the sonic beauty of the smaller 150-capacity room which played host to garage rock, punk, and bohemian newcomers, such as Jeff Buckley. In the late 1990′s the club branched into the butcher shop next door and became two rooms under one roof. As the neighborhood gentrified around them, the Lower East Side became the hub of NYC rock. The club hired a Live Rock N Roll Karaoke band who became an instant hit in the city, attracting New Yorkers and tourists from all over the globe to catch a glimpse of celebrities, such as Moby, belting out AC/DC. Shortly after, Arlene’s garnered more attention – becoming home to The Strokes, and then booking a residency by The Bravery, which would land the band a deal, and propel them to fame. As a handful of live music clubs pop up (and down) around the area, Arlene’s holds fast to its intention of nurturing unsigned bands; its attention to the highest quality sound; and remaining an institution in the NYC rock scene. We’re playing NYC’s East Village at Lit Lounge on Friday, January 10th. Since we’re in the middle of recording our next EP, we’ve got some new songs to share and we’re really looking forward to breaking them out at Lit. Details: Its on at Arlene’s Grocery! This will be our second time playing the infamous Arlene’s. If you haven’t been you have to come check it out. This former Puerto Rican bodega and butcher shop turned live music venue has one of the best sound systems in New York. Showtime is Friday the 25th at 10pm. $10 at the door… We just picked up another date at the Rochester Greentopia festival so we are now playing, Saturday 9/14 and Sunday 9/15 New show date!
