Bowerbirds is Phil Moore (guitar, lead vocals) and Beth Tacular (accordion, keys, vocals), plus a rotating cast of musicians. Mark Paulson and Brad Cook will be making different sounds with us depending on what is needed.
We recently toured with Matt Damron, from The Bright Young Things, who played drums and sang with us and also Mickey D'Loughy who played the drums. Both of whom we can't thank enough.
Past members include Mark Paulson (violin, foot synth, percussion, vocals), who toured with us for years, as well as Abbie Bowman, Brad & Phil Cook (Megafaun), John DeHaven, Wes Phillips, Tim Phillips, and Will Anderson, who each played with us on a few shows.
The bowerbird's long-distance advertising songs are loud vocalizations typically given by a male as he perches in the understory above his bower.

Also, we apologize that we have not been able to keep up with myspace messages, because we don't have fast internet at the Airstream, and myspace takes forever to load there. If you would like to get in touch with us, please go to bowerbirds.org and follow the email link.
The male crestless bowerbird is completely drab. His plumage is indistinguishable from the female's. His bower has therefore grown more elaborate to take the place of colorful feathers. He gathers insect skeletons, shells, seeds and charcoal, and arranges them in neat piles in his bower. While bobbing about to attract the female, he holds a colorful object, usually a flower, in his bill.
you guys were spectacular at the university of arkansas show, even though you were half asleep :) i shot most of a roll of film at the show and the chick at walgreens ruined my film :(
Yo Bowerbirds, Whenever I listen to your music. I feel like singing too. But your talent is unmatched. How much time you spend to rehearse per day Bowerbirds? Love ya. Di PS:Follow Me Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent

Aaaaargh!!! I was all set to come and listen to you at Captain's rest - was soooo flippin' excited (even recommended you to some people who probably saw you!), but I had to go to a charity ball instead!
Just got back from your gig in Manchester. You guys are truly stunning, both musically, and to look at (OK, that sounds a little creepy...). Anyway, thank you so much for a wonderful show. Absolutely Beautiful. Good luck in Antwerp, it's an amazing place. And have a great tour! :D
