Melbourne, Australia (2000 – present)
Architecture in Helsinki are an indie pop band which formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2000. The band has released four studio albums: “Fingers Crossed” (2003), “In Case We Die” (2005), “Places Like This” (2008) and “Moment Bends” (2011).
Formation and Early Years (2000-2002)
Architecture in Helsinki rose from the ashes of the High School band of cameron bird, Jamie Mildren and Sam Perry. Bird started writing songs at the turn of the century and convinced Perry and Mildren to help him flesh out his first set for live performance. Bird urgently needed a name for the band, so, he circled some words in a copy of The Age newspaper and did some magnetic poetry. In mid 2000 Bird met Kellie Sutherland at a party, she volunteered her musical services to the band at first playing clarinet. By the time Bird met James Cecil, Gus Franklin, Isobel Knowles & Tara Shackell whilst studying at RMIT University later that year, the band was well and truly taking shape.
Fingers Crossed (2002-2004)
After many discarded recording sessions and countless shows at North Fitzroy’s Empress Hotel, the band locked down in their home studios for the best part of 2002 to make their debut album. The vast majority of the songs were written by Bird the week he returned from an extended holiday in the Pacific Northwest.

I actually listened to 'Moment Bends' a few times over BY CHOICE the other day. It's safe to say that it has grown on me. I do miss the old sound though, but the new sound is very good too. They are a very talented group of musicians who have adapted well in the different genres that they have tried.

fingers crossed i'd say, but in case we die is an easier digest. the rest is just crap. everytime i see them live i get more and more disappointed. in 2006 they were surprisingly introvert on stage but 2011 they seemed to be into disco and stupid dance moves both in england and sweden. sad cus they used to make epic indiepopsongs.
