About Me

How refreshing, then, to encounter East Austin’s own multi-lingual experimental pop practitioners Many Birthdays, whose Days of Beat/Days Of Hollow EP brings it all back home, and which is a masterpiece of restraint, intelligence, and, well, musical border-crossing. Austin Sound
So maybe it’s my biasness towards cats or maybe it’s the paint fumes… but Many Birthdays is rocking my socks. The music has the simplicity of Casio beats with HUGE swooping synths over it all and manages to be extremely captivating and melodic at the same time. Party Ends
DIY disciples prepare a melting pot of musical ingredients ranging from jostling noise-rock to vanguard electro-pop. Tastiness ensues. ReGen Magazine
Hello Many Birthdays combine elements of electronic music, lo-fi, post-punk, progressive, cinematic and noise rock, etc. Our limited edition EP "Days of Beat / Days of Hollow" is currently available at select stores and online.
