The Riflebirds Of Portland - Windmills On The Moon [VINYL]

1985-1989

The Riflebirds of Portland were originally called The Riflebirds. Marvin Etzioni (founding member of Lone Justice) produced their debut album "April" (available only on cassette). The single "Pieces of Time" was immediately included on the highly coveted CMJ (College Music Journal) CD. Columbia Records expressed interest. Before things could move forward, The Riflebirds broke up.

The original band got back together with Etzioni back in the producer chair. Since 1992, their drummer Kevin Jarvis has worked with Brian Wilson, Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello and many more. He is also an engineer/mixer and owner of The Sonic Boom Room where the album was recorded and mixed. Chief songwriter and bassist Lee Oser became a professor of English literature and an author. Singer Kate Oser became a children's librarian. Lead guitarist Kevin Kraft became a software tester in Silicon Valley.

Since there is another band from Australia called The Riflebirds, a name change was needed. The band chose The Riflebirds of Portland because Portland, Oregon is where they started. The forthcoming album Windmills on the Moon, on Regional Records, will be available on Vinyl, CD and all digital platforms. The front cover artwork is by the legendary Edward Hopper.

The album was mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London by Grammy winning mastering engineer Sean Magee.
