Live, it gets serious: chaotic, hypnotic, unpredictable, with rhythms that make you move whether you want to or not. The band hadn’t played a single live show before a booking agency and record label had already come knocking. Roadburn and Bevrijdingsfestival soon followed. The press describes The Bird Experience’s sound on their self-titled record as: “Pure psychedelic poetry. Blues from the sixties, the soul revue of James Brown, funk, swamp, jazz, and avant-garde. Nine tracks in which it all comes together. Not sixties nostalgia, but proof that these genres are still alive and kicking.”
