Having first strung chords together as teens in a small Australian country town, Cameron Bird, Jamie Mildren and Sam Perry moved to Melbourne, that Antipodean port for the creatively inclined, and formed the romantic indie-electronic behemoth known as Architecture In Helsinki. Heartfelt dark folk ditties and shimmery jams emerged from Supermelodyworld, in a massive church hall on Melbourne's Southeast side, until a trip by Cameron to the Pacific Northwest led them to condense influences of Portland Oregon, post-acid Beach Boys, Wu Tang Clan, The Magnetic Fields and Mexican food into sub-2.5 minute pop songs, sharp and catchy, with no time to look at your shoes. Their exuberant music took them around the world and made them festival heroes back home in Australia while they further refined their music towards sleek and danceable pop. In this show singer Cameron Bird takes us on a roller-coaster ride through international travel, recording studio construction and high school curriculae.
