Last night Brown Bird played at The Linda. They were impressive and powerful and I would see them play again and again because each time only gets more intense. (Halfway through the set a guy got on stage and proposed to his girlfriend! He said that three years ago she introduced him to Brown Bird and that he hasn't been the same since. Then they slow danced to this song.)
