Artist of the Week:


Need new music in your life?? Check out this rock n' roll band from Omaha, Nebraska called The Derby Birds! 

Now don't let the name fool you they are no roller derby team, they are a group of guys ready to rock your night away. If you like artists like the Beatles, Dr. Dog, or even The Kinks they are worth giving a listen to!

The Interview

Me: What is your album called?
Tony: We just released our debut album self titled The Derby Birds.

Me: What are your songs about?
Tony: My songs are usually a combo of different stories and characters combined. For instance, if it's a love song chances are I'm talking about 3 different girls at once. Some of my songs are personal stories but mainly I write fictional songs about things that could be

Me: What are you guys working on now? Any upcoming shows?
Tony: Since we just put the album out we're not doing much as far as writing or recording. I'll probably start writing songs after I finish the film projects I'm involved in. We will however be playing shows soon. 

Me: Is there a website where people can sample your music?
Tony: Our album can be streamed at derbybirds.bandcamp.com. It can also be downloaded for free there by typing in 0.00 in the price box  when you go to download.

Me: If you were to play alongside a band/artist, who would it be?
Tony: I'd say Mac Demarco or Dr. Dog for sure.
