THE ROCKINGBIRDS
The short version of The Rockingbirds saga is that they released two acclaimed albums in the early 90s on the hip Heavenly label. They anticipated the alt-country revolution and sat comfortably alongside like-minded contemporaries like The Jayhawks and Uncle Tupelo. But, The Rockingbirds effectively burned out due to an over-enthusiastic lifestyle and imploded.
However, when their label, Heavenly Recordings, threw an 18th birthday festival in London in 2008, The Rockingbirds arose phoenix-like to play the Southbank.
Since then the band’s first album has been re-mastered and re-released, and more live dates and fresh recording sessions are ensuing as The Rockingbirds try their method on a new generation. A new 7” single “Till Something Better Comes Along” was released in December 2011 on Spring Records, and a new album is planned for 2012.
To echo a line from their song Gradually Learning, being late is better than never.
