To kickstart the hype the band are set to play a number of dates around the country, for the March Fires Tour, in their first national tour in 18 months. The new album’s title directly reflects its phoenix-like conception, and also refers to the March fires in the northern hemisphere, which are typically a natural source of renewal each spring. With new single Lanterns dominating radio airplay, the Birds are proving themselves to be one of Australia’s most loved outfits.
