Well I have to say it's good to be back and over the coming months this site will (all being well) become bigger and better than ever with sessions and programs all available side by side. This is the first of two sessions Birdland recorded for the Peel program and captures the band at the peak of their powers. I remember seeing their blond moptops on the cover of NME around this time and thinking

Fans of “The Sopranos” will remember Tony’s fixation on a family of ducks that lived in his swimming pool in suburban New Jersey. They become emblematic of the troubled crime family man’s family troubles. Over at Showtime this weekend, during the season finale of “The Tudors,” old Henry VIII, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, impatiently [...]
Birdland were 4 non-brunettes, 2 of them were siblings. They existed for a short time between 1989 and 1992 but still managed to get the video to this song played on Top of the Pops (it meant something in those youtube free times) after it broke into the UK Top 40. The short jerky tunes that Birdland turned out matched their unpredictable on/off stage antics. In fact said behaviour saw them thrown off a priceless Jane’s Addiction tour after just one date. Lukewarm reviews of their eponymous debut in 1991 marked the beginning of the end for the quartet but worse was to follow soon afterwards when their label Lazy Records went bust. ‘Sleep With Me’ is a pretty simple affair, within the first couple of seconds you’ve heard the riff that underpins the whole tune and Robert Vincent’s

Birdland, 14x18, oil This is the marsh in the evening. At first it seems quiet, until you become aware of all the life and activity there. Birds by the score are coming in to roost for the night. Some are carolling their evensong and some are twittering excitedly. Many are flying throught the marsh catching insects as they go; the epitome of fast food ! This particular marsh is part of a state park and there are birdhouses of several varieties along with nesting platforms to accomodate the avian resdients preferences. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. Solomon
Ciao my darlings! Madeline here with the scoop on our delightful dandy-man Malan Breton’s night of music at Birdland in NYC. I had been battling a nasty cold all week but was able to to hop over to the club with my mother. We were greeted by a lush, elegant interior with art-deco influence surrounding the spacious bar and photos of jazz greats lining the walls; definitely Malan’s kind of place. I was so excited I could barely eat my dinner (which my mother attests was delicious and moderately priced) and, much to my mother’s bemusement, kept craning my neck to see if had come in or not.After a while, I heard a very distinctive and familiar giggle. I turned around and, voila, there he was!! I (not so) subtly waved him over and he waved back as he ducked backstage to get ready. When he came back out, we blew kisses as he took his place amongst the performers. We were treated to a delightfully eclectic and entertaining range of singers including Bronwen Coleman, one of Malan’s gor
