A LOT LIKE BIRDS Guitarist Joins SIANVAR

by Ryan Minic | Mar 2, 2015

So as the Blue Swan orgy continues, some adjustments have been made to the Dance Gavin Dance/Hail The Sun/Stolas/A Lot Like Birds project Sianvar. But need not worry, they’re keeping it in the family.

Sianvar have recruited A Lot Like Birds guitarist Michael Franzino to play bass for them. He’ll replace his Birds bandmate Michael “Butter” Littlefield in the group. And speaking of Butter, he’s also out of A Lot Like Birds; he’s moving on to further pursue his education.

Sianvar are currently demoing a full-length album, a follow up to their 2014 self-titled EP. Expect new stuff later this year.

Here’s some footage of Michael demoing some new tunes.
