Ryan's Gig Guide - June 2018

Monday 4th June The Robin 2, Bilston Wolverhampton  Since their inception in 2012, the trio has toured Australia multiple times and earned killer support slots with interna- tional acts such as Cherie Currie of The Runaways and punk icon Richie Ramone whose management hand-picked the girls for the slot having heard their cover of The Ramone’s classic “Somebody Put Something in my Drink”. At the end of 2015 the T-Byrds spread their wings internationally for the first time, having the honour of visiting The Middle East on a Government-sponsored “Tour of Duty” to entertain the troops. Their debut album “Fight and Flight” was self-released in May 2016 in Aus- tralia/NZ and debuted at No. 10 in the Australian AIR Charts. Debut single (and fragrance!) “I Smell Rock n Roll” was named Team Rock “Track of the Week” and earned the trio two month’s A-list airplay on the UK’s biggest rock sta- tion Planet Rock radio. It also scored the girls a coveted live studio performance on Australia’s leading com- mercial rock station Triple M. Late 2016 saw the trio take to interna- tional stages once again, hitting the ground running with more than 40 shows across the UK and Europe including festi- val appearances at Hard Rock Hell and Planet Rockstock.They continued to build momentum in 2017 with two more UK/Euro tours to coincide with the inter- national release of their debut album through Off Yer Rocka Recordings, notch- ing up another 50 shows including festival appearances at Stonefree, Steelhouse, Wildfire and a return to Hard Rock Hell. In between all this they managed to squeeze in a triumphant return to Aus- tralia for a mini-tour supporting the likes of The Darkness and Nashville Pussy.The trio are currently back in the studio with new music (and shows) scheduled to land early 2018.
