Background edit

In 2004 Adam Spark, a Perth guitarist, approached local hard rockers, Karnivool's lead singer, Ian Kenny, to provide vocals for some demos he wanted to record for publication rights.[1] They decided to start a side project, Birds of Tokyo, to record the material and recruited Anthony Jackson on bass guitar and Adam Weston on drums from fellow Perth group, Tragic Delicate.[1] They released a self-titled four-track extended play as their debut in January 2005 on independent label Egg Records, which was distributed by MGM Distribution.[1]
