Nightbird Casino Biography
Artistic integrity, creativity, and passion are the perfect words to describe Nightbird Casino. This group of talented and down to earth humans are pushing the boundaries and blurring the lines of musical expression. “I want us to be as creative and original and out there as possible. In a way, I want to create music that makes people think.” says frontman James Moore when asked how he would describe their music. “I don't necessarily like music where you just shut off your brain. I like music that forces you to kind of sit up and take notice.” Take notice indeed. The first time you push play on a Nightbird Casino track you will hear complex rhythms, intricate guitars, the haunting ambience of the ondes martenot, and lyrics crafted from a true wordsmith.
Nightbird Casino was born around 2016. Tired of being kept in a musical box, James and the former band founder left another group to build their musical vision. Today the band is influenced by a wide range sounds; from Radiohead, Elbow, Interpol, and King Krule to Miles Davis, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, M83, and Spoon. James (Vocals, Guitar), Patrick Manville (Bass, Vocals), Amanda Moore (Keys, Ondes Martenot), & Oliver Orion (Drums, Percussion) come together to create a truly diverse group of musicians dedicated to their craft.
For Nightbird Casino it was initially all about experimenting. “It was initially just like, how weird can we be? How many different instruments can we cram into a song?” James laughs. Their sound has developed to be about finding a balance between experimenting and still being musically accessible. It's a difficult balance to strike, but a feat Nightbird Casino seems to accomplish effortlessly.
Nightbird Casino is on the cusp of new age pop rock. Bringing influences from decades past, modern sounds, and individual experience, this band is one you want to follow.
