Montreal, QC. Canada (Top40 Charts/ Forty Birds Official Website) - With their currently released album 'Shotgun Therapy' hitting the radio charts and getting strong media attention. The metal band Forty Birds residing in Montreal are proving that lending a helping wing to 'Operation Enfant Soleil' can help make child's smile soar. This Saturday February 23rd, 9pm at Petit Cafe Campus, 57
Prince Arthur E. Forty Birds will showcase their true sleeves of metal heart and help those in need.
'We enjoy helping out an organization like this one, it's important to show that with our music we can give back & help a children's foundation such as Operation Enfant Soleil raise funds to help those who have been unfortunate.' Says Forty Birds guitarist Kevin Marple.
Operation Enfant Soleil is non-profit organization that collects funds to support the development of a paediatric quality and contribute to the realization of projects of social intervention for all children in Quebec.
The organization of this showcase is to help raise funds for the year to come in 2008. With support from Forty Birds, fellow musicians and the public this fundraiser will be an important event to help children in Quebec and spread awareness for the cause.
ABOUT: When these five variously influenced musicians convene to build their wall, the winds of Montreal take on a haunting howl. Rising from the rubble of other musical endeavours in early 2006 to form an earth-shattering collective of sound, Forty Birds project their blend of street corner metal to the masses in their anxiously awaited debut album 'Shotgun Therapy'.
There is no lack of buzz surrounding this first offering from Forty Birds; the most recent epic journey being pushed forth from Studio Sanchez (Ileana, Sign of One), known as a breeding ground for some of the best works of sonic heaviness in Montreal. After a year of toil, Forty Birds take flight. Soaring melodies seep through the cracks of massive, slithering guitar rhythms; pulsating percussion taming progressive time signatures, teasing your frontal lobe.
Forty Birds' trademarked organic sound has been a fixture on the local Montreal scene since their formation; they have been the featured local spotlight on local radio stations such as 94.7 HITS FM and played regularly on local university radio stations such as CKUT 90.3FM. Relentless gigging found them a spot pounding a populous alongside Threat Signal (Nuclear Blast), and their long-awaited debut album will no doubt stamp Forty Birds' footprint deep into the Canadian metal scene.
