He was backed by the crack rhythm section of drummer Clayton Smith and bassist Taylor Ackerman, who were locked in with each other and really made Bird shine through a set of mostly original upbeat alt rock and Husker Dü-ish post punk music.

He also added a capable cover of the Ramones’ “I Want To Live.”
He displayed a variety of innovative rhythms ranging from rock to a very cool jazz tinged, groove filled number.
