Humming Bird

Humming Bird is an American alternative rock project by Jack Mergist, Martin Michalek, and Kody Yardley who began it during a Lunatic hiatus. It is a supergroup of sorts, incorporating a rotating cast of members from bands like Plume, Two Pale Zeros, Sandbaby, and Ed Hpeoj of The Fapping. Originally, all of the songs lead vocals were sang by Marisol "Paz Cola," who had been introduced to Martin and Jack via a mutual friend earlier that year. A falling out between Marisol and Martin during the wrap of the album prompted him to re-record all of her vocal tracks. The general sound has been described as "happier, more upbeat, pop music."

Their debut album, Hey, There's Tommy! Hey Tommy, Where's Mom & Dad? was released on October 15, 2011.

Live performances
Humming Bird songs have been played live very few times and only one full band show was ever played. Fans have occasionally shouted out the names of Humming Bird songs at Lunatic shows prompting verbal backlash from Jack and Martin. (Kody will usually attempt to play the "Raincloud Love" riff.) Humming Bird's show was characterized by its high energy, insulting banter, declarations of rock's death, stage destruction, and cross dressing.
