From the Concert Series collection

This polish is 5-FREE, cruelty free, and vegan friendly.

Size: 15mL / .5 fl oz

Sparrow of the Dawn (inspired by Greta Van Fleet) is a deep navy base, with a strong green-copper-pink multi-chrome shift, and a  heavy dose of tiny holo glitters.

Pam was heavily inspired by the cover art from their double EP From the Fires, and chose to create a multi-chrome to go with their retro 70’s vibe.

The Concert Series consists of shades inspired by bands that Pam has had the pleasure to see live in concert. It’s a colourful soundtrack of her taste in music.

MORE ABOUT SPARROW OF THE DAWN FROM GIRLY BITS COSMETICS

Late spring/early summer of 2017, I started hearing this new song called Highway Tune on a local radio station (WRIF in Detroit) It really grabbed my attention. It was a band that I had never heard of before, but they sounded like well seasoned musicians and I was really digging their vibe. So I started looking into this band called Greta Van Fleet. It turns out, they are a group of young (and I mean YOUNG) guys from Frankenmuth Michigan.  The singer is Josh Kiszka, and his twin brother is guitarist Jake Kiszka (22 yrs old). Younger brother Sam Kiszka (18) plays bass, and their friend Danny Wagner (19)  is on drums.

We first saw them perform in Michigan at Pine Knob (DTE Energy Music Theatre) in September 2017 at RIFF Fest. I was BLOWN away. I KNEW I had to honour my new favourite band with an addition to the Concert Series.

I saw GVF again at St. Andrew’s Hall (in MI again) in December. By that time, it was getting hard to get tickets to their shows before they sold out. The first show at St. Andrew’s Hall sold out and they announced a second show which also sold out. I had already purchased both CD’s and was mildly obsessed =) We currently have tickets to see them two more times. One at Rock on the Range in Ohio, and one at the Fillmore in Detroit. Both in May. (repeat-mildly obsessed) The show at the Fillmore sold out in seconds. Literally. And fans were NOT happy. They announced two more shows at the Fillmore back to back and they both sold out immediately. I was lucky enough to score 2 tickets to the 2nd show.

Back track to the show at St Andrew’s Hall in December. I already had Sparrow of the Dawn planned, but had not finalized a polish yet, and did not have a release date. We had VIP tickets to that show, mostly because that was all that was available when I purchased. VIP has their own level, and their own bar and washroom area. I went to the washroom right before GVF came on stage, and as luck would have it I ran into Josie Wagner, sister of the drummer. We chatted a bit, snapped a selfie, and I told her about my plans for Sparrow of the Dawn. I asked her if she would like to see the samples and help in the choosing of the final colour. She was very excited about that! We exchanged contact info, and chatted about colour and finish etc, and I sent her some samples, from which she chose her favourite. A huge thank you goes out to Josie for her creative direction, and for  helping to choose the perfect polish from the prototypes.

If you don't already know who this band is, I urge you to check them out. These guys are the next big thing. I guarantee it. They have been on a whirlwind tour, opened for some amazing talent, performed at Elton John's Academy Award party, and have been featured in Rolling Stone and a bunch of other magazines. It's crazy. (I might be mildly obsessed) I kind of feel like this is how music lovers of the 70's must have felt the first time they heard some of those amazing bands that went on to become some of the best musicians in history.

Here is a link to an acoustic performance of the song that hooked me. Flower Power by Greta Van Fleet, on Jonesy's Jukebox

I hope you enjoy both the polish and GVF as much as I do!
