I can honestly say that I have been a fan of the Kyle Bennett Band since the first time I heard, "Adios", "Come On Radio", and of course, "Donnelly Drive". Suffice it to say that I was heartborken when I found out that shortly after their release of the absolutely amazing album, "Grey Sunrise", the band had called it quits. Which all leads me to this, Kyles ex-bandmates have a new project and another go around. Ladies and gentlemen, The Thieving Birds.
Although I have not had the opportunity to see them in concert yet, (could've last weekend for the cd release) I can say this. I am sure that they will give 110% and one Hell of a performance. After listening through their new album (Self-Titled), I was astonished at just how good and how quickly they came together. It was only last summer that I had heard the horrible news of the split, so for a band to come together, put out a cd and start a tour this quickly....and still sound great, was simply unbelievable to me. But, here they are, and looking to make a name for themselves. The first single, "Hey Leigh" is already rising the charts of the Texas Music Scene and being frequently requested on 95.9 The Ranch. The people can't seem to get enough, and it all makes me so happy. The new country-alternative-rock sound is really my favorite part of this album and something I hope many others find appealing as well.
So here's to you, Thieving Birds, may your journey be long and prosperous. May your guitars continue to wail, and your concerts bring in thousands of new fans. I'll be keeping my eye closely on this group of guys. Keep rocking.
