Background notes
Archive material and source history
King Cardinal formed in the early 2000s around brothers Ethan and Joshua Richards and their friend Simon Giles. They started playing local open mics and small gigs, with Ethan on vocals and guitar, Joshua on drums, and Simon on bass.
Their debut album was called "The Broken Bird," and they later released albums titled "The Cardinal's Quest" and "Bluebird Day." The song "Bluebird Day" became particularly well-known.
They toured fairly extensively and performed with artists like Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes. At one point, an unauthorized remix of "Bluebird Day" circulated online, which led to some discussion about copyright issues.
