Back in May, Birdmonster premiered tracks from their sophomore LP, From The Mountain To The Sea, at NYC’s 250 capacity Mercury Lounge. Fast forward five months and the San Fran based act is co-headlining a crowd twice that size at one of the most revered venues in the country. As an ardent follower of Birdmonster since the release of their spectacular debut record (No Midnight), I’ve witnessed the band’s growth and consequential musical gear shift on Sea. Whereas the Mercury gig had some slight missteps, Birdmonster’s Bowery gig went off without a hitch. Personal highlights included a rousing rendition of ‘Born To Be Your Man’ & the dazzling closer, ‘Spaceman’. Read my recent Q&A with the band here. Visit Birdmonster at their official MySpace page. Photos & an MP3 of ‘Resurrection Song’ follow.
