Bird Service return to Voodoo Daddy’s Showroom to premiere songs from their upcoming album, The King of Rust. This 6-piece Norwich band combines diverse musical influences (indie, rock, funk, reggae) with the rhythms of Brazil, creating quirky songs that reflect on life, love and the modern world, full of hooky melodies and funky brass riffs. The group grew out of carnival band, Rabo de Foguete, bringing the upside-down world and energy of carnival to their music. A first album, ...More or Less, was released in 2021.
Bird Service are Marcus Patteson (voice + guitar), Jake Hishon (drums), Bill Skipp (lead guitar), Vilem Hais (bass guitar), David Osborne (Trumpet) and David Ingham (Tenor Sax).
They will be supported by ScratchAnna and Banjo Steve.
