Adaline and The Painted Birds at the Media Club in Vancouver.

After forming in the fall of 2005, Vancouver indie rockers The Painted Birds have secured a loyal following throughout Canada. Their debut album, So Much For The Rain, was released independently in Canada in August 2007 and within the last year the band has completed two tours of Western Canada, a promotional tour of Ontario, and a twenty-five-show national Canadian tour. The band has drawn massive crowds and gained recognition at industry showcases in Toronto, including Canadian Music Week, The Edge 102.1FM’s Nu Music Nite at the Horseshoe Tavern, and, most recently, headlining a showcase at NXNE. The band’s crowning achievement in 2008 has been receiving multiple touring and showcase grants from FACTOR and MusicBC, which has allowed them to engage in such rigorous touring.
