   About Wind Up Birds
Our music is available here and on the soundtrack of the Girls Rock! documentary, in theaters now. The soundtrack will be for sale later this year (2008).

We listen to millions of records and we're interested in a million subjects. Our music ranges from the complicated and strange to the pretty and rocking; our lyrics are dense, idealistic, and sometimes fantastical.

Wind Up Birds is on permanent hiatus while we go on to other things:

Pete Kellers runs a web and graphic design business called Factory Direct Design. Their many professional jobs include cool band sites and album covers. Check out his other band, the critically-acclaimed No They Do. Pete also plays in Pay the Coyote here in Portland.

T'chaka Sikelianos has completed his feature length film A Yeti in the City. You can see production notes and a preview at his website, or his myspace page. He is the force behind Hardboiled Wonderland. He is now a 3D animator for Night & Day Studios.

Nat Sims started the media production company Night & Day Studios. They make videos, websites, and interactives. He is a cofounder of Behemoth3, Inc., a roleplaying-game design company. Nat is also The End of the World, and has composed soundtracks for several films and computer games.

Alexa Weinstein is finishing a rock & roll book called Dig Me Jane. She is now a writer for Night & Day Studios.

Every once in a while, something good trickles through these pipes called the internet.

Glad you liked my '05 list. We must spread the Silversun gospel!!

oh, and just to be clear, my Sasquatch fascination has nothing to do with me wearing this big furry suit.

nothing at all.
