About Actual Birds

PLEASE NOTE THAT I VERY RARELY CHECK MY MYSPACE. IF YOU REALLY NEED TO CONTACT ME: ACTUALBIRDS AT GMAIL DOT COM. Anyway...

ACTUAL BIRDS is the nom de guerre of Dustin Krcatovich, cartoonist/DJ/recording artist/Michiganian/record collector/bad comedian/amateur sociologist. Not necessarily in that order.

Besides intermittent solo work, Actual Birds is currently a member of the following music groups: BLOOD NECKLACE, FOREVER STOKED, and PATRICK ELKINS AND THE ENDLESS VIBRATIONS. He has been a member of many other musical aggregations. Too many.

Hey, does anyone need a dude to write about music for them (for money)? I can totally do that. For examples of the more personal/obsessive/conversational end of my music writing, please see my blog, FM DUST.

You can order the album that I did with Fred Thomas (City Center/Saturday Looks Good To Me), Vive La Fantastique! Avec Actual Birds & Friends, on ITUNES here. Modern! Sellout-ish, too, but whatever, give me some money.

Speaking of modern and weird: Join The Sixty One, search for Actual Birds, then give me hearts and tell the world how highly you think of my music.
