In a common occurrence in the Steele family’s musical projects, Little Birdy have messaged fans saying they’re on hiatus and ‘DEFINITELY’ not breaking up. Ah yes, that old chestnut.
Singer Katy Steele, sister of Empire Of The Sun/Sleepy Jackson’s Luke Steele, is hightailing it to New York and making a solo record, while guitarist Simon Leach is also doing the solo thing.
Drummer Matt Chequer is brushing up his production chops, and bass player Scott ‘Barney’ O’Donoghue is off to work with other bands.
“After working together for the past eight years, with little downtime, we think that it’s the right time for us to explore other creative and personal ventures,” Chequer explained.
“We want to stress that the band is NOT breaking up and we will be working together again in the future. At this time, we cannot say when this will be but, hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later.”
Little Birdy’s last album Confetti reached number five, however the singles didn’t bother the Top 40.
