About Me

The Chaos of Birds, a rock trio from DC, is known for it’s beautiful yet brooding tone; a unique style that hearkens to 60s-era folk and early 90s grunge. TCoB’s live experience is highlighted by an unprecedented swagger, brought about musically by genuinely disconsolate lyrics and a downright sturdy sound. Behind the powerful voice of Meghan Adkins, the band creates a mood of integrity and loneliness, inspired as much by the sounds of early Native-American tribes as the laden-heart birth of grunge in the US. In this era of pop and math, they are a simple and welcome excursion into a beautifully bluesy world. "The Chaos of Birds, gigging tonight at the Black Cat, is talented guitar-based duo who pen familiar, inviting, habit-forming songs. Despite the fact that their Web site identifies their sound as rock/rock/rock, sometimes the two sound like a darkly melodic, country-tinged band of ghosts. Other times they sound like the most talented members of Veruca Salt, Mudhoney and the White Stripes in a scorched-earth Americana act. The Chaos of Birds: The most fun you'll ever have being made to feel lonesome. " --The Washington Post Express
