   About Bird Lantern






We are Greig Thomson and Al Thumm from South of Oz - homecooked sampladelic funkin' since 2000!
Rockin a schmorgasboard of sampling and DIY recording, it began with our first album, the Epic Dud, released around 2001 to the Adelaide underground, forging the blueprint for backyard jigsaw funk and the tropical dreamtime. Food for the self titled Bird Lantern album, the Dud Ep, and all the joys to come...
so it goes...

Great glowing spaces to everyone...hope you find what you're looking for

Meanwhile download the FREE Dud EP here! Choice cuts from the Epic Dud.

And here's our recording of the first ever Bird Lantern Lab show at the 2008 Adelaide Fringe.

The formerly lost video for Smoke. Strange and wonderful it is...
Thanks to Dan Murphy for making it in secret.





Oh, here's the great Luku's brilliant clip for Naked and Blue.

Hey there, sorry to be one of those people but here's a bulk message... from the heart.

We're been hitting the road with friends 'The British Robots' and travelling all along the east coast. This Saturday we celebrate a successful tour with the Adelaide home show finale! We're going to be at The Rhino Room on June 20th (this Saturday) at 9pm with 'The Honey Pies' who are more than awesome in their own right!

We would really love to see you there.

Hey Bird Lantern,

I thought you might enjoy my quote of the week:

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.

Have an outstanding day!
