PALACE OF THE KING release new single 'Birds Of A Feather', out now on Reckless Records
PALACE OF THE KING PAY TRIBUTE TO THE BLACK CROWES WITH SOUL-STIRRING
NEW SINGLE “BIRDS OF A FEATHER”
Australian rock heavyweightsPalace of the Kingmake a triumphant return with their blistering new single“Birds of a Feather”, out August 1st on Reckless Records, and launching with back-to-back headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney.
Written by Tim Henwood and Seany Johnston,“Birds of a Feather”is a tribute to Chris and Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes—a band whose chemistry, conflict, and iconic sound have been a guiding light for Palace since day one. Packed with fiery guitar interplay, soul-drenched vocals, and a groove that struts with Southern swagger, the single is both a love letter and a rock’n’ roll revival.
“This one’s for the Robinson brothers,” says Henwood. “We’ve always resonated with their dynamic—the way friction and brotherhood can create something magical. ‘Birds of a Feather’ is about that connection and what it can produce when the music really matters.”
The track also marks the return of bassist Andrew Gilpin to the band, bringing fresh energy and firepower to the low end. Joining Henwood and Gilpin are Leigh Maden on guitar, Seany Johnston on guitar and keys, and Cameron McGlinchey locking it all down on drums.
To celebrate the release, Palace of the Kingwill play two special single launch shows:
August 1 at Cherry Bar (Melbourne) with special guests Willie J’s 6V6
August 2 at Chuck Trailer’s (Sydney) with special guests Avalanche
“Birds of a Feather” was produced by Tim Henwood and captures Palace of the Kingat their most honest and electrified—a full-throttle tribute to the roots that shaped them, and a bold step into their next chapter.
SINGLE LAUNCH SHOWS:
AUG 1 – Cherry Bar, Melbourne
AUG 2 – Chuck Trailer’s, Sydney
