Bio

29 Blackbirds was formed by brothers Luke & Shaun Cranston and Dan Insley from Tomorrow Comes In Silence and Dave Rhodes from Stylus at the end of 2007. The musicians had all met and played in bands in the Auckland metal/alternative music scene and wanted to try something different.

Because each member has such varied musical taste the band has evolved into something completely different from any of the members previous musical outings.

Since 29 Blackbirds was formed they have tried out various guitarists but none quite fit the bands vision, so for the initial song writing and demoing sessions Shaun played guitar.

The bands good friend Andrew Kerr from 5 Star Fallout started to fill in live until a permanent guitarist was found but his playing fit so well and everyone was having so much fun that he has joined the band.

Now that 29 Blackbirds have finished their first batch of demos the band is booking shows around the upper North Island. Keep an eye out for the group live; each member comes from a great live act so the 29 Blackbirds live show is sure to entertain.

29 Blackbirds plans to record a Single and EP soon so watch this space.
