Bird Nest Roys

Toilet & Bowels · 01.08.2009, 07:54 PM

Time for a thread about a band that doesn't suck.

Bird Nest Roys have some great songs, and what the hell kind of a name is Bird Nest Roys?

This is the only footage of them on youtube, it's a bit ropey, but it gets their point across:

If you like that then I'm sure if you google them you'll find their album on some blog or other.

Haha that is some damn good ropey footage. I'll have to investigate further.

That name sucks, though I was seriously thikning of starting a punk band called "the corndog men" this week.

I've just started a punk band with some friends called 'The Bruce Willis' and all the songs are about films Bruce Willis has been in.

That youtube footage of this band is really dodgy but I like what I hear through the fuzz..

No kidding, on the IRC efnet channel #poptart.net, I used to chat there about 8 years ago, and some guy on there named ikehole had a metal band called the bruce willisses.

So... that's really fucking bizarre.

Dang! Well, we thought 'The Bruce Willis' was an even dumber, grammatically incorrect name, so as to reflect the pointlessness of the band.

I've got their song Jaffa Boy on the Flying Nun box set, which is pretty good.

T&B thanks for the link. BNR were a great band...if you haven't heard their other stuff (the 12" and the jaffa boy 7" w/ the Hollies cover on the back), they are all available @ http://thedoledrums.blogspot.com/

some other great vids were uploaded by that youtube user...just checked out the Bill Direen and Great Unwashed clips, loads more to follow. thanks!

btw, Verlaines had Robbie Yeats as their first drummer...much different sound/style than he would adopt when playing w/ Bruce and Michael
