Birdland: Identical triplets take the WA music scene by storm

West Australian

Will these Perth triplets be the world's next big boy band?
Conrad, Oscar and Francis Cvitan have been turning heads across WA for their identical look, and their incredible musical talent.
They are the 16-year-old brothers behind the WA band Birdland.
With over 185k followers on TikTok and a WAM Song of The Year nomination under their belts, the teenage trio shows just how far raw talent and a good hook can go.
Francis — who plays guitar and sings — agrees that international attention is mind-blowing.
'It feels very flattering, it's wonderful to see us have such a reach in audience,' he said.
'We wouldn't have thought this year we would be having people in Brazil and Indonesia and the Philippines and America and the UK hearing our music, saying, 'it's really amazing'.'
In typical sibling fashion the brothers can't agree on which genre Birdland's music falls under but say it's safe to say it's a combination of Indie, Funk, and Pop. Their music has been compared to Rex Orange Country, Crowded House, and Maroon 5.
Despite the bands uncertainty around genre their social media success has led fans to demand the triplets go on tour, and the Birdland brothers have devised an innovative solution.
Oscar — who plays bass, sings and manages the band — said obviously, they can't travel worldwide yet, but they have been using the live stream function on social media to perform online concerts.
'It's accessible, and people get to hear it and see what we're really like,' he said.
Although the brother's success exceeded expectations, Birdland has set bigger goals for the future.
For Conrad — who plays the drums and sings — the next milestone will be to play at a sold-out local venue where fans sing along to their songs.
'My biggest dream for our band is to play at Scarborough Amphitheatre with a packed out crowd and them singing our songs,' he said.
Francis is aiming for a bigger venue with a few more people.
'Playing in front of 1000 people while they sing our songs, actually, let's dream bigger, let's go 10,000 people while they sing our songs, and not at Scarborough Amphitheatre,' he joked.
Birdland is reeling in local recognition, along with its international support and social media success.
'It's really cool. I didn't expect that to happen, but I'm very happy and very excited,' Conrad said.
The 16-year-old stars have a strong foothold in the WA music scene, playing multiple local gigs, including opening The West Australian Pulse exhibition earlier in the month.
Birdland's second single, On My Mind — inspired by Francis' recent breakup — drops at the end of June.
For West Aussies keen to see the next big boy band live, they will be playing at Y HQ in Leederville on June 20 for the launch of their new single.
