Birdcloud UK

As you may know, I'm a fan of Birdcloud; the country duo known for writing irreverent and satirical songs. I've posted about their controversy, effective unravellings of said controversy and even put out an album from them.

They recently announced a rather large European tour that will take them around the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and Italy. I'm happy for their success and ability to see more of the planet through their bonkers performances. However, I wonder if their songs will translate to those audiences? For me, a song like Livin' with My Granny is not so much about growing up in Southern poverty as it is about poverty in general. Maybe the references to cornbread won't matter so much. Fortunately, most of their songs - i.e. Do What I Want or Here in Body - aren't regional specific as much as they are commentary on lamentable self-destructive behavior.

Godspeed Birdcloud!
