Well, personally, I was a "Birdhouse" fan... and I'm sorry they're
not doing that anymore... at least so it seems...

Probably too tame for the game...

The last two Birdhouse gigs I saw had a rhythm section. Brad was
out of the group and Hansford Rowe was playing bass. I think
Jim Mussen was playing drums. Jon was already going for a heavier
sound. Evolution and Swallow are really just an extension of Birdhouse (for
me at least, I'm not speeking for Jon).
