It is hard to put a label on Futurebirds' music as some of their songs fit perfectly alongside the music of recent touring partner J, Roddy Walston but other songs sound like something out of Explosion in the Sky's catalogue.

2011 has been a large year for Futurebirds. The Athens outfit has released two well-received EPs; road-dogged the nation with bands such as Widespread Panic, Drive-By Truckers, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Gary Clark, Jr., J Roddy Walston & the Business, Thomas Hardy, and grass giraffes; rocked to rave reviews at Bonnaroo Music Festival and Austin City Limits; and generally simply had a swell time—though brains and livers might scream otherwise.

Futurebirds' Holiday Road Tour, which includes grass giraffes and Brantley Jones, plays Brooklyn Bowl on Dec. 12th. Futurebirds will have a tour-exclusive single - the Holiday Road Super Single - for sale at each stop. The split single features new Futurebirds track "Serial Bowls", a cover of eddie the wheel's "nearsayerfive", a grass giraffes remix of Futurebirds' "Megachills", and a grass giraffes original, "Don't Forget Me." Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 DOS - Doors are at 6PM and the show starts at 8PM.
