Crafting a heavy but poppy sound that recalls contemporaries like Queens of the Stone Age as well as classic arena rockers like Free, Bluebird consists of guitarist/vocalist Paul Figueroa, bassist/trumpet player/vocalist Jim Brown, drummer/percussionist/vocalist Bryan Lee Brown, vocalist/percussionist Sam James, and guitarist Barry Thomas. The Brown brothers began playing together while they were kids, and eventually ended up performing as an improv rhythm duo in Los Angeles in the mid-'90s. James and Thomas, an old friend, joined the Browns and added a little more structure to their still-spontaneous performances.
