Bird Machine
A pair of lovers from New Zealand & Australia, making sweet music. Alt-pop/rock. Both husband and wife gained an appreciation for music at a very young age.
Bird Machine are Luke and Jenna Grbin, a pair of lovers from Geelong, Australia, and Hamilton, New Zealand. Combining distinct musical sensibilities, their current batch of songs reminisces on early 90s alt-rock and dream-pop with inflections of folk, wrapped up in plush pop melodies. Their jointly penned lyrics, at once commentative and introspective, shimmer within layered vocals above a swirlin

Some of you may have wondered where on earth we have been? Well since having our latest baby, Jenna has been working on another project creating sing-along children’s books with her mother. Go support her and check out her first book release with 9 more in the works.
We can hardly believe we get to write this… Carly the Chameleon is finally ready to head out into the world and into your homes! 🥳
This little project has been such a labour of love for us.
Mum wrote Carly’s story, I (Jenna) brought her to life with music and illustrations, and Mum also created a bunch of fun learning resources to go along with it.
Honestly, it’s been a real family effort, and we’ve poured so much of our hearts into every page and every note.
✨ And because we’re so excited, we’ve got a little thank-you gift:
Everyone who pre-ordered or grabs a copy in the first week will get FREE access to our Music & Movement Pack— packed with sing-along, play-along and move-along videos, music tutorials, and fun activities to keep the music going long after storytime.
One quick note: if you’ve bought the book outside of New Zealand, please flick us a message to let us know. We don’t get told about overseas purchases from bookstores, and we don’t want you to miss out on your bonus. 💛
We made Carly with your family in mind — something you can read, sing, and explore together. Whether it’s snuggling up at bedtime, singing along in the car, or trying out the activities on a rainy afternoon, our hope is that Carly helps you make sweet memories with your kids.
Big hugs,
Fiona & Jenna
