BIRD MANCINI - Funny Day

Big harmonies, rock `n roll accordion, guitars sometimes crunchy, sometimes mellow, visual melodies and lyrics all reflecting the acid trip of life. Reminds me of a creative mix of Timbuk 3, XTC and The dBs but with the unique twist of early and mid 70s acoustic pop like Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young. Really! "They combine accordion with a variety of guitars, bass, and drums in an interesting menagerie of sounds and thoughts. If you are fortunate enough to catch them live you will be treated to the duo on accordion and acoustic guitar, or with a full band-depending on their collective mood."- The Noise. "a cosmopolitan fusion...pop music in the most adventurous, inclusive sense of the term." - Boston Globe.

""Funny Day sounds like nobody else. It is so original. I`ve got stacks of CDs and you don`t sound like any of `em. This CD deserves international airplay. This is one of those albums that stands up to time...an album that 10 years from now I`m gonna dig it and everyone who has it is gonna dig it. It`s just one of those albums. It`s one of those albums that needs to be heard by everybody." - Preying Lizard Music. "There is no escaping the Beatles influences on Funny Day or the psychedelic feel to this album, and whether intentional or not, Ruby and Bill create some of the coolest vocal harmonies and melodies since the heydays of the sixties. Songs of particular note to Beatles fans include Rest of My Life, and the Sgt. Peppers era influenced So Cool."- Metronome Magazine. Recommended!!
