My husband is playing a bit with his friend's band, Birdie. Their songs have recently become available online here. Here's what another of his friends says about it:

hi everyone,

just wanted to alert you all to the arrival
of the debut recording of my new band, BIRDIE.
The Glendale E.P. recorded in the last few
months between los angeles and jacksonvile with
a starring cast of jared flamm, kala savage,
myself, bob maynard, joe mcelroy, and steve
flakus can be heard at the following site:
www.flyawaybirdie.com. with one foot in the
present and another in the past, Glendale should
appeal to fans of magnetic fields, rilo kiley
and bright eyes as well as the kinks, roy
orbison,harry nilsson and dion. so check it out
and pass the link along to all your
friends. hope to see everyone out when we
play this summer! richard


Might I add that I hear a bit of Belle & Sebastian and Grandaddy. And that Bright Eyes sucks. Oh yeah, and I LOVE THE FEATURES and I'm SO GLAD to meet you all!

I can't listen to the tracks because I'm at work, but the webpage is really cute.
