 music World-class live electronic dance music The Bird appearing exclusively for one night only in the Piano Bar Friday 22 February starting from 8pm.

The Bird mix the spontaneity of live music with the discipline of dance floor beats, opening a unique line of communication with their audience. Being 100% live enables The Bird to be driven by the response their music evokes. Each performance lets inspiration and the energy of the crowd guide the direction of this musical journey.

The Bird are Ben Walsh (drums), Simon Durrington (keyboards), Barry Hill (double bass), and Bobby Singh (tabla). As musicians, The Bird have sought an organic interpretation of computer-generated forms of music, combing live drum'n'bass breakbeats and electro synth lines, with sounds from the Asian Underground, and some serious dub vibes. The Bird's music is a journey through these numerous influences and stylistics, executed in a funkafied soulful electronica sound that is their trademark style.

i was there, at least for the last 2/3rds of it. good to hear them all speak, Bobby de-mystified the tabla, and they all talked about production, jamming, influences... the works. apparently their show last night was dope though i didn't make that one.

anyone else from AM make it along to either event?
