Search - The Bird Names :: Wooden Lake/Sexual Diner

With diverse artistic influences such as Hawkwind, Patti Page, Pram, Neil Young, and Ernest Tubb, the Bird Names create some of the most unique and strangely heartfelt music of the Chicago music scene. Their latest release has been called '...undomesticated, raucous, urgent, and alien' by the Chicago Reader. Chicago's Daily Herald says, 'this band makes the Fiery Furnaces sound like Phil Collins.' Such are the qualities driving the Bird Names to the crest of a wave of new, experimental sound and aesthetic that is slowly but surely redefining the shape of music in Chicago's musical subconscious, and that will certainly have a far-reaching impact on mainstream Chicago and other major national markets for years to come.
