The Sick Sick Birds formed a short time after The Thumbs disbanded in early 2003. With a surplus of mostly incomplete Thumbs songs ready to be put together, Thumbs frontmen Mike Hall and Bobby Borte started the new band as a means to continue recording new material and playing shows whenever possible. The band's discography includes: a split 7" with Vena Cava on Attention Deficit Disorder Records (Fall 2006), the Chemical Trains ep 7" on Toxic Pop (April 2007), and their first full length, the "Heavy Manners 12" (June, 2009) on Toxic Pop.

The newest Sick Sick Birds record, a 12" called Gates of Home, is now avaiable at www.toxicpoprecords.com.
