The Bye Bye Blackbirds manage an extremely well-written and thoughtful blog called For As Many As Will. The band documents their creative progress, pitch philosophies regarding the band's own existence, and talks a little about some of the artists that have influenced them. What else would you expect from a bunch self-trained rock scholars?

The latest post describes the recording of a recent set of demos for their next album. They've even linked to one for your listening pleasure.

The band has also contributed a track to Crayon Angel, American Dust's forthcoming tribute to Judee Sill. You can find out more about the album and preorder it here.

Or, you can purchase the band's assured debut album, Houses and Homes, here.

You'll also be able to catch them live over the next couple of weeks as they play a few festivals in California (info below).
