SUPERBIRD - the Interview

Let’s fly high with Superbird. Spread the feathers all over for those music lovers in need of a wildly infectious band determined to bring dandy pigment and pleasurable experiences into your life.

Hello hello

Hello young lady. X

Well Superbird is quite the flamboyant peacock. It is so refreshing in this sea of crows. How did you choose the name?

After a literal 6 months of playing together under the guise of ‘Joe Fin’ it was high time we picked a band name. The three of us took to the boozer and it became crunch point... Frontman Joe suggested the idea as if summoning a rabbit from a hat, and after a long hard debate we totally went for it...

Tell me how Superbird is different from other bands you have been?

Superbird represents love, colour & happiness. We’re here to bring our super-positive energy into this messed up world we live in... Individually, it differs from our previous projects because this is a supergroup: A triumvirate of heroes who ride majestic unicorns into galactic wonderment.

Who crafts the lyrics?

Joe & Alex take care of songwriting duties lyrically, musically & melodically - quite often escaping to romantic getaways where inspiration takes course...

Do tell me the impetus for your style? I love the glam.

We’re here to entertain, and it makes perfect sense that our outfits, style & swagger matches our music & personalities. So loud and proud it is baby! Loud & proud. X

Your videos really pop. I get a good kick out of the them? How do you come up with the ideas for the videos?

Thank you for noticing.

We were fortunate enough to bag a couple of cool locations and a cracking video team to help get us off the ground, thanks to Alex’s savvy and business-like mind. The key is keeping on the lookout for awesome ‘pop-up’ places, seizing the opportunity and going wild for three hours improvising.

You made big strides since January, how have you handled the quick ascension?

We’re honestly quite humble humans, we of course all like to show-off, (such is the nature of the Superbird.) But we take everyday as it comes, turning negative vibes into positive energy, learning by our mistakes and always looking to better ourselves as a group. Freddie, in particular, has even moved apartments. So we can be closer together.

What can we expect for the rest of 2019 as it flies by like a bird ? :)

Two more kick-ass singles along with a whole load of cool video content to boot. We’re building an empire ready for 2020.

Peace, love, hugs

Love you Tina. X

Thanks a million for doing this.

You are very welcome.
