Saw them at Fat Sam's in Dundee 1990, great gig but the bass guitar thrust like a pike into the audience that missed my head by an inch will be ingrained in my mind forever.

Tim Burgess should be in this band with his haircut.

We all had that haircut in 1990

This lot caused so much trouble at one gig (in Cambridge I think, inviting audience members on stage and then kicking them in the head when they tried to get up on stage) that after the gig the bouncers locked the doors, went backstage and kicked the crap out of birdland.

Specky Cyclist I was at that gig, they were really good live and didn’t need the attempts at recreating the real sense of danger that was pervasive at the punk gigs of the 1970s. Think the support band were called Drop 19 or something, I was there with a really hot indie girl I dated for about ten months, but even she didn’t distract me from how good Birdland were live, saw them a few years later in Newcastle after their notoriety had waned and they were lousy, different drummer and bass player and a grunge sound that just didn’t suit them, the Middlesbrough gig was fairy packed, the Newcastle gig was more than half empty. They were a wasted talent.

ha ha the best memories are spew coloured and adhere to the concious state like 'glue' i still think that birdland and even more so previous brian jones lookalikes 'zodiac motels' could have gone further if someone not unlike a/loog-oldham with a keen hold on media manipulation and situationist-type controversy tho the kicks in the head are a bit ornery for publicity... could have got them on the tabloid shock horror headliner gravytrains well when i saw zodiac motels up at the timebox north london they really were the thing still cant figure out why no one else shared my frenzy... must have been the quality housing estate subs i wuz imbibing...

A great rehash of Unbearable by The Wonderstuff who rehashed In the Midnight Hour by The Jam. Love postmodern pop.

If I remember correctly, these were one of those bands that the NME and Sounds hyped up with single of the week and cover shot, only to mercilessly rip them to shreds when it became obvious that they just didn’t have the songs, and most of their readership weren’t onboard

Your memory is 100% accurate.NME trying to outdo Melody Maker at the time and discover the 'next big thing' I believe.Quite pathetic really.

The only reason I'm aware of Birdland is that for some reason I've still got a copy of NME's 15 September 1990 issue lying on a shelf. The band featured in a two-page article called "[rock 'n' roll] Niggers with Altitude", referring to the balloon trip they were interviewed on and a cover of the Patti Smith song "Rock 'n' Roll Nigger" they'd done.
