The Bellbirds formed in 2009 in Auckland, New Zealand.[1] The band consists of Sandy Mill: vocals, percussion, Victoria Kelly: vocals, piano, organ, Don McGlashan: vocals, guitar, various instruments and Sean Donnelly (also known as SJD): vocals, guitar, bass. Sean Donnelly writes most of the songs.[2]

An article in Stuff.co.nz says, "Having a bunch of songs that didn't fit into a "traditional band setting" gave birth to the Bellbirds."[3]

They played at WOMAD New Zealand, Taranaki on 13 and 14 March 2010.[4]

All four members of the Bellbirds are involved with the recording of Neil Finn's album Out of Silence, in August 2017.[5]
