What a great way to kick off 2008! Biirdie was our first live band of the year and their music was beautiful with lots of layers and harmonies – a breath of fresh air given the current, post-holiday live music rut in LA.
As strange as it may sound, there is an incredible alt-country scene here in Los Angeles. I was lucky enough to be a part of it years ago, working with Polly Parsons (daughter of Gram) who brought a bunch of bands together for a tribute concert to her dad. Biirdie takes off down a similar but different road, with really strong original songs and an AWESOME cover of “Who Were You Thinking of” (originally by the Texas Tornadoes).

Local bands Biirdie and Parson Red Heads will be appearing on MBE this week -- Thursday and Friday, respectively. Some great music coming out of this town right now! Parsons also has the January residency at Spaceland so go and see them tonight if you stayed in all weekend because of the rain.
Oh, Nic is also a fan of a track off Delta Spirit’s new full length – check out the SoCal group’s song “Trashcan.” Also, keep an ear out for Jason Bentley’s remix of the Frou Frou song “Breath In.” Its killer and it will be on the American Teen movie soundtrack (which our own Chris Douridas happened to put together!)
