Bluebird – October
Biography
1.A folk-rock band from Mercer Island, Washington in the late 60’s ,early 70’s ,who later changed their name into Grand Theft.
2.The bird is a symbol of freedom. From “Black Bird” to “Free Bird,” winged things have always been associated with autonomy and escape, and the appropriately named Los Angeles power-psych-punk band, Bluebird is an embodiment of artistic freedom.
Bluebird’s music and aesthetics aren’t easy to define or explain. In the way that Black Sabbath or even Queens of the Stone Age deftly blend heavy guitar riffing with shimmering vocal melodies, Bluebird makes catchy pop songs driven by heavy layers of guitars, that could also just as easily be outtakes from Swervedriver or Jane’s Addiction. And, like Perry Farrell’s former freak-flag-fliers, Bluebird is comprised of such divergent personalities that any song - from its most traditionally structured rock tune, to its freeform droning jams - seems to be tugging in a variety of directions all at once. This friction often results in some of the most psych-damaged ingenuity this side of the earliest Meat Puppets mutant punk-country. The charismatic and downright loveable characters in the band bring the passion and intensity to Bluebird’s music, and its talented musicians prove that anything is possible with the proper alchemy of magic, will and intuition.

I'm guessing this is a different Bluebird from the band that played with DC post-punks Frodus
