Daylight's for the Birds are: P, Jay, Amanda, Brad and Dave
We first saw this band completely by accident. Having never been to a show at Union Hall before, we got to the venue way before headliners Silversun Pickups took the stage and lucked into catching an opening set by the lovely Daylight's for the Birds. Normally we would have taken in a song and got back to Bocce, but these guys totally sucked us in. Lush, layered guitars and a gentle female voice keeping everything in place, the comparisons to previous BOTW'ers Asobi Seksuare all noted, but that can't really be taken as a bad thing. Surely there's room for more than one shoegaze revivalist band in Brooklyn.
They are back at Union Hall this Saturday with Blog-Rock stalwarts Snowden. You can hear some songs on thier myspace page.

I would be way more likely to pay attention to a BOW if any of them ever had non-pretentious band photos.
I wondered what ever happened to P. He was my roommate for a while in the East Village and had a band called On Air Library that was pretty good. Thanks for this update. I'll go check them out.
Is that Elizabeth Berkley?
you should check out on air library 's record!
Is that photo backwards? Is it superficial of me to say I don't like this band because of their hair? I've never heard their music but their hair looks way too important.
Nice headband, Nomi.
I like what I hear from this band!
If they sound half as good as they look Ill be happy. Ill be at the show.
A lot of haters before me, too bad.
the songs on their myspace are dreamy! i'll be there fo sho!
