about
Cuckoobird.net is a music blog covering anything that sounds good to the ears and pleases the soul. It doesn’t matter if it’s Acid Jazz, Australian Pub Rock, Bal-musette, Barbershop music, Calipso, Dancehall, Electric folk, Finger-style, Garage rock, Hardcore hip hop, Instrumental rock or whatever. The unifying factor is that it sounds great to me and I want to turn you on to it. I eat sleep, breathe and sweat (ewe) music and want to be a filter for what is good out there on the interwebs and beyond. The site is a guilty pleasure created and maintained by Matthew Price. I live in Austin, TX so some (but not all) of the music on this site is Austin focused.
Please support the musicians on this site by purchasing their records going to see their shows.

Cuckoobird is inspired by the song The Cuckoo Bird by the Everly Brothers.
Townes Van Zandt – The Cuckoo Bird
Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.It is often that I wonder
Why women love men
And I look back and I wonder
Why men are men.Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.Gonna build me a castle
On a mountain so high
So then I can see my true love
As she passes by.Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July.Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You have robbed my poor pockets
Of silver and the gold.Oh, the cuckoo she’s a pretty bird
She warbles as she flies
But I never give her water
Till the forth day of July…

Hi,
Thanks for a great blog!
I’m writing on behalf of the Los Angeles based band Typical Situation. We play catchy, groovy songs inspired by Maroon 5, Cranberries and with a twist of Hendrix guitar, and we have just released our ep Blamed For Peace on iTunes.
We are playing out regularly at venues in Los Angeles such as the Whisky and The Mint and have been featured on shows such as “The Kieron Elliot Show” and “Today’s Limelight”.
Bio:
Typical Situation was founded at Musician’s Institute in Hollywood when Ronja went across the hall to ask Cy, “do you have a black marker?” and Cy asked, “can you sing blues rock?”.
Since then the band – consisting of two girls from Denmark and three guys from US – has been writing songs and performed together.
Typical Situation is it’s own little dysfunctional family with competing hairstyles such as Michael’s Mohawk and Anne’s crazy curls that takes up the entire stage when she starts bobbing away on the Keys. Matt usually has his shirt off after a few songs and Cy will without a doubt bust out some of the most inventive dance moves you can imagine while serenading the hottest girl in the bar right in front of her boyfriend. As Ronja will tell you when they go on stage “We are here to party”, and don’t expect anything less when you see them live. Whether the band writes about the fun scenario of going on a Blind Date or loosing your first love they always write with the intention of turning every little Typical Situation into a cherished moment of your life.
Band members: Ronja Petersen (vocals) – Cy Passley (guitar) – Anne Seidler (keys) – Matt Barreca (drums) – Mike Marigliano (bass)
Hope to hear back from you, and again; thanks for a great blog!
Anne Seidler – Typical Situation
