Sing, Bird of Prey Take the Good with the Bad on ‘Microsatellite’

Sing, Bird of Prey – who are preparing to release their debut LP “Crystal Embryo” next Tuesday, September 13 – have offered another lush glimpse at what is to come with their new single, “Microsatellite.”

Coming off the heels of the previously released “Diamond Marrow,” “Microsatellite” begins with a punchy opening riff from guitarist Dave Aon, coupled with a driving beat from drummer Cliff Albert, to create a soundscape that embraces both the good and evil sides of the human condition with warmth and wonderment. The instrumental remains powerful, yet dreamy for all three and a half minutes, while David Nicholas’ vocals complete the tune’s Oasis-like vibe.

Check out “Microsatellite” below, and stay tuned to Sing, Bird of Prey on Bandcamp for next week’s full album release.

Ready to Rock the Record Store?

What are your plans for Record Store Day this Saturday?

If you’re near Phillipsburg – and let’s be honest: if you’re reading this, you’re probably not far – Spin Me Round is hosting an in-store show Saturday night, April 16 beginning at 5 p.m.

It’s a pretty stacked lineup, featuring artists such as Wyatt Davidick, Oscillating Eye, World Poison, Sing, Bird of Prey (whom, you might remember, we’ve seen before), Cedar Green, Refuse the Conformity, and Know Your Enemy. Yep, that’s seven – count ‘em, seven – live performers and additional reasons to head out to Spin Me Round and come across something that could change your life.

Planning to go? Let the good folks at Spin Me Round know via their official Facebook event.

PHOTOS: Handheld, VoirVoir and Sing, Bird of Prey at Warhouse Collective

Last week, we were introduced to Warhouse Collective, an incredible new DIY music venue created by five friends in an abandoned Phillipsburg warehouse. We spoke of the Collective’s impressive dedication to their music scene, and we predict that the venue will be a great indie music destination for years to come.

As it turns out, they put on a heck of a show, as they did when Handheld, VoirVoir and Sing, Bird of Prey made their first appearances at the upstart venue. We got some shots of the show for you to check out, as well.

Sunday Thought Series: Something is Happening

I had the opportunity to go out on the scene three nights in a row this week.

On Thursday, I went to The Original Music Series, as I typically do, to see Quadraplay and Aniqatia.

Friday night afforded me my first-ever trip to Northampton’s Gin Mill and Grille for a night of hard rock with KILLCODE, Autoerotica, and Vegafuse.

Then last night, I went back to Phillipsburg’s Warhouse Collective for a night of indie rock from Handheld, VoirVoir and Sing, Bird of Prey.

Through it all – three distinctly different nights of great music, some hard-working, amazing people people and my own opportunity to connect more deeply with our music scene – I have come away with this thought.

Something is happening in the Lehigh Valley, and it’s big.

Those on the Lehigh Valley’s original music scene have waited years and, in some cases, decades for these days to come. These are days where more opportunities continue to arise for artists of any genre in the region. The folks on the scene are realizing that it will take teamwork and commitment to bring all of our efforts to prominence, and it appears that these people have begun to find each other and team up for the greater good.

We’re talented, we’re dedicated, and our voices are getting louder. We’ve made it this far, so let’s keep it up.
