Good Flying Birds is a jangly, noisy guitar-pop group from the Midwest, USA. The project began in December 2023 with a string of 4-track cassette recordings and stop-motion videos uploaded to YouTube under the name “Talulah God,” accompanied by a chaotic, GIF-filled website. Over the next few months, songs were uploaded regularly, eventually catching the attention of influential punk and DIY label head Martin Meyer.

In January 2025, Talulah’s Tape was released on Rotten Apple, compiling home recordings from 2020–2024. It showcased a wide-ranging love for independent guitar music, clever songwriting, and a charmingly scrappy, twee-punk aesthetic. The release found immediate underground acclaim, earning radio play and selling 300 cassettes in under a month.

Riding the momentum and building a reputation as a dynamic live act, the group attracted significant label interest, ultimately signing with Carpark and Smoking Room. Together, the labels re-released Talulah’s Tape on vinyl and streaming in October 2025. It has since seen glowing reviews from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Paste, Bandcamp, and landed in numerous "Best of 2025" lists.

Their sound nods to lo-fi icons like Guided By Voices, Beat Happening, DLIMC, Talulah Gosh, and The Vaselines, but carries a singular, earnest charm. It’s the sound of wide-eyed optimism in a cracked world—rosy cheeks, a tambourine in hand, and guitars ringing in all directions.

Show starts at 6:00pm.
