"Secretary Bird, a band helmed by longtime Friend of Dean Martinez Mike
Semple, contribute "Tio," a great, twangy song with a huge guitar hook
and a big chorus." - PITCHFORKMEDIA.com (from the Fast Food Nation Soundtrack
review)
"Download this: Secretary Bird's "Tio" - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's song
highlight from Fast Food Nation soundtrack
Secretary Bird releases the debut self-titled album for In De Goot Recordings
on March 20, 2007. A national tour with SXSW live dates will be announced
shortly.
Prior to releasing the debut album, Somewhere Girls EP will be available
through digital distribution on January 9, 2007. The tracklisting includes
2 songs, "Somewhere Girls" and "Late Night Cab Ride" from the album plus
2 unreleased tracks "Oldest Living Creature" and "Million Bucks." Also
included is "Tio" which has only been available through the Fast Food
Nation soundtrack and will be on the album.
Secretary Bird is the brainchild of Mike Semple who is mostly known
for his work with Bill Elm in Friends of Dean Martinez (Semple is credited
on 7 albums from 2000-2005). Semple and Elm co-wrote and recorded the
score to the Richard Linklater's new major motion picture, Fast Food Nation,
starring Ethan Hawke, Bruce Willis, Patricia Arquette, Wilmer Valderrama
and Greg Kinnear.
Along with creating music in Friends of Dean Martinez, Mike Semple played
in Los Angeles' Campfire Girls and has circled the globe playing in Giant
Sand. Howe Gelb recommends, "I play guitar just good enough, thank you.
And when I don't, I call on Mike Semple to bolster. He's better than good
enough, and he's a hoot to boot."
Mike Semple's undeniably sincere songwriting is enhanced by a singing
style that's hypnotic and lackadaisically melodic like Lou Reed or Paul
Westerberg. Add Semple's distinctive guitar work, born of a 70's British
influence, and it is laid beautifully and softly down at the foot of your
soul. Think Psychocandy meets The Days of Wine and Roses and add a bit
of Wilco. Thomas Froggart (She Wants Revenge) and Eric Avery (Jane's Addiction)
also play on the album. Enlisted for the live touring band are Austin-based
drummer, Kirke Jan and bass player, Einar Pedersen.
