||| Bio Nov 2008 |||||||||

Electronic, lo-fi, post-punk, progressive, cinematic and noise rock!
A mixture of voices, instruments, projected video, English and Japanese.

2002....Many Birthdays is created by JD in a dark apartment somewhere in Austin TX, which yields the full-length homemade cds "The Abstract Door" and "35 Minutes". Guest players are enlisted (enter Sarah), but it is only a recording project.

2003 - 2004....Many Birthdays continues recording while living & working in Osaka JAPAN. The stay in Japan inspires loops, sounds and melodies plenty. MB is now a male/female duo.

2005....Exhale the Japanese experience and self-release "Sub Rapid Express". Live shows begin w/the solidification of an electro/DIY post-punk sound. Vocals are in English & Japanese.

2006 - 2007
....(enter Eric B!) "Days of Beat/Days of Hollow" EP is released in 2006. MB is regularly played on KVRX & KOOP radio 91.7 and frequently makes the KVRX "Topless 39" list. Various songs on the EP and previous albums are featured several times on Mike Watt's "The Watt from Pedro Show" radio program. Two songs are included in Eric Power's full-length documentary "Swordplay", which screened at the Delray Beach Film Festival and Solstice Film Fest. MB is featured in The Austin Independent magazine, distributed during SXSW '07. (thanks Eric B!) Live shows continue every month with a revolving cast of extra players...Henna, Michael, Vince, Jorge (Abominatron).

2008 -
...New music, shows, more shows... regularly playing and throwing down with Henna and drumgirl Rachel from Boston. "Emptiness Is Forever" EP is released, culminated from the current crop of songs from the live show. An east coast tour is planned for the spring of 2009!
