Birds of Tokyo formed in 2004 from a collaboration between members of the Perth bands Tragic Delicate and Karnivool , from which Ian Kenny came. The group formed after guitarist Adam Spark asked Kenny to sing on a handful of commercial demos. The pair were happy with the results and decided to form a band to release the songs themselves. They took their name from an article one member had read about the absence of birds in Tokyo’s high-density central business district due to pollution and overcrowding. “We thought that was interesting, no birds in Tokyo – we thought, we’ll be the birds of Tokyo”, he says.
