"The bird is the word! Since 2017 Wrongbird has been flying its way through Austin with an
affinity for the absurd and a resolute sincerity. This collaboration
between Chicago-born keyboardist and vocalist Eric Baker (of Tomar and the FCs)
and guitarist Michael Blake takes the form of a 4 piece indie-rock back
rounded out with bassist Dylan Hill and drummer Tim Smith.
With their own particular brand of “wrong-rock” they blend elements
from 60’s sensibilities, humorous yet emotional songwriting, and
even old school 1920’s ragtime/show tune theatricality. Just ask
yourself, what else would an incorrect songbird do?
In addition to a fiery live show of contagious energy, the band has
released an LP Epitome of the Opposite (2016) and an EP Who is
Wrongbird? (2018). The single off that EP “The Plot” was aired as a
KUTX Song of the Day. After taking a hiatus due to the Covid-19
pandemic, the bird is back at it and completing work on a second
full-length record that is bound to be their most exciting and ambitious work yet."
