Birds of Avalon

Raleigh NC's BIRDS OF AVALON was formed after guitarists Paul Siler and Cheetie Kumar split from The Cherry Valence to join forces with vocalist, Craig Tilley, and bist, David Mueller. They soon enlisted Chapel Hill drummer/artist Scott Nurkin and quickly made a name for themselves with relentless touring in support of their '07 Volcom debut
Bazaar Bazaar , 08's follow-up EP
Outer Upper Inner and their final album for Volcom in 09's
Uncanny Valley .
Much of 2010 was a transistional time for the group. Paul and Cheetie, along with co-owners Steve Popson (Polvo) and Ben Barwick (Ashley Stove), re-opened legendary live venue Kings Barcade. Siler also kept busy booking Raleigh's inagural and highly successful Hopscotch Music Festival. All this on the heels of the amicable departure of vocalist Craig Tilley afforded the band an opportunity to re-evaluate and evolve their sound with a focus on group harmonies and a r approach to writing and performing.
The band re-emerged in January 2011 rejuvenated on Portland's Bladen County Records (the Love Language, brother, the Builders & the Butchers) with the overdue release of an album completed in early 2009. BIRDS OF AVALON'S self-titled release is another og-only collaboration with Mitch Easter (REM, Wilco, Pavement) at his Fidelitorium Studio. The record builds on the pop-aesthetic of
Bazaar Bazaar but blazes new progressive trails while anticipating the psychedelic experimentation of
Uncanny Valley . These psych nuggets are certainly poised to gain new fans and impress critics as the band expands beyond its previous 70's inspired/ post-rock influences and looks to the future with greater abandon.
