Birdmonster have been one of the star players in the indie rock movement in the Bay Area. Peter Arcuni's energetic vocals and the band's growth from post-punk fortitude to indie folk catchiness is a treat for anyone listening to their collection of impressive records. While 2006's No Midnight is my favorite, last year's Blood Memory highlights the band's versatility the genre of folk rock, solidifying Birdmonster as one of the better bands to come out of San Francisco.

- Growing up in San Diego, there were pretty much two places to see shows. One was the Casbah, a venue we've played extensively, loved exclusively, and which is in possession of one of the premier Ms. PacMan machines in the continiguous United States.

The Casbah was where I always wanted to go, but, being not yet of boozing age, I was barred from entrance; Soma frightened me and [...]

Birdmonster's new Tom Schick-produced album From The Mountain To the Sea is out early next month. We posted its " Born To Be Your Man " at the beginning of July and here we have the video for another Mountain track "The Iditarod." We're told the clip uses SLAM (aka Slide, Animation, Movies), a visual technique invented/coined by Greg Crane. The explanation: Not too different from your standard stop-motion animation, SLAM takes the aesthetics to a new arty level. 95% of the video was created using digital still photos from a professional/high-end camera.

Approximately 1800 shots were painstakingly and meticulously pasted together to establish that "motion". Catch them on tour this fall.
