After starting out in late 2023 as a bedroom recording project called Talulah God, Good Flying Birds grew quickly into one of the most buzzed-about acts in the US DIY underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their cassette <em>Talulah&#8217;s Tape<\/em>, originally released on Rotten Apple in January 2025, sold out in under a month and landed them label deals with Carpark Records and Smoking Room. The LP version dropped in October 2025 alongside the single &#8220;Eric&#8217;s Eyes.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They played U4 Fest in Philadelphia in October 2025 and are booked for Providence Pop Fest in May 2026, with a spring US run already underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ground Control Touring, founded in 2000 by <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/agents\/eric-dimenstein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eric Dimenstein<\/a> and Jim Romeo, has been building momentum on the indie-alternative side with recent signings like <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/starcharm-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starcharm<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/pinkshift-signs-with-ground-control-touring-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinkshift<\/a>, making Good Flying Birds a natural fit for their roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good Flying Birds going from DIY self-booking to a respected boutique agency like Ground Control Touring in under two years is a real statement of trajectory. This is exactly the kind of band GCT has built its identity around: critically loved, community-rooted, and ready to scale without losing the plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dual-agency setup (GCT for the US, Black Rice for EU\/UK) also signals a smart, internationalized approach to touring at an early stage in their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does landing at Ground Control Touring open the door to bigger US festival slots, think Pitchfork, Primavera Sound US, or SXSW, sooner than expected? Is Good Flying Birds the next in a growing line of Midwest indie acts (like Horsegirl or Waxahatchee) to break out of the underground and into the wider indie mainstream?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Flying Birds, the Indianapolis-based jangle-pop five-piece, have signed with Ground Control Touring for US live music and touring representation.
