Birchville Cat Motel is a one-man experimental music project formed by Campbell Kneale from Wellington, New Zealand.

Although largely unrecognised by the mainstream press and public in his home country, Kneale has toured throughout Japan, America, Europe, and Australia.

Kneale operates the labels Celebrate Psi Phenomenon and Battlecruiser which have issued CDs by artists from New Zealand and overseas, including Matthew Bower (under the name Mirag) and Simon Wickham-Smith with recent releases by Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson and one involving Tony Conrad.

Kneale has used Birchville Cat Motel as a vehicle for many collaborations with other musicians, including Lee Ranaldo, Neil Campbell, and Bruce Russell.

He also records under the names Black Boned Angel,[1] Brilliant Swords, and Ming and compiled the Prince tribute album Shut Up Already Damn!.
