Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Wallis Bird and her career can only go sky high! Still solo in 2009 as strong and funny support act to Rodrigo & Gabriela, now with band in the ABclub and that promises to be even more fun.
This Irish singer is sometimes compared with Janis Joplin, Fiona Apple or Ani DiFranco due to being very enthusiastic, very inappropriate and very distinct. At a recent Pukkelpop she was apparently much appreciated by the audience, definitely when she announced: 'if you sing along then I'll show you my breasts... they're not real anyway.'
There will be a new CD in early 2012, simply entitled ‘Wallis Bird’, but there are already acoustic versions of those songs on a CD personally packaged by Wallis & family and only available via her site. There are only 1,000 and this CD is then called 'The mistakes are intentional'. Don't come back complaining!

Wallis will be bringing Aidan along as support-act. An Irish inhabitant of Brussels with substantial live-experience and in early 2012 he will also release his debut CD 'Le Grand Discours'. On it you should hear how Aidan finds his way amongst John Martyn, Elbow, Nick Drake, Villagers...

Een kleintje, maar keifijntje met niet te stoppen pronte présence; grillige maar aangrijpende liedjes en een hecht enthousiast orkest; haar jongste cd een recommandé; en van de zomer dus blijkbaar ook al weer Dranouter? Dat ze niet aan lager wal is, deze vibrerende Bird!

Ondertussen in De Morgen bij 'De tien toppers van Eurosonic', en hoe: 'Wallis Bird. Ze is zo klein dat ze zonder zich te bukken door een sleutelgat kan kijken, maar wie Wallis Bird live heeft gezien zal dat niet licht vergeten. De Ierse zangeres versmelt folk, blues en funk met de energie van een punkband, en staat met het soort vechtlust op het podium waar je onmogelijk onverschillig bij kan blijven. Als u nu aan Ani Difranco moet denken zal niemand u tegenspreken, ook al omdat Bird -haar nieuwe cd verschijnt in maart- het hart op de tong draagt, en complexloos over haar meest persoonlijke emoties schrijft, zonder er haar gevoel voor humor en zelfrelativering bij in te schieten. Op de koop toe werd ze in de rug gedekt door een ritmesectie waar geen speld tussen viel te krijgen, én had ze nog een vierde man op gitaar en kinderspeelgoed mee. Ze sprong rond als een bezetene, zong op de toppen van haar tegen en ramde intussen af en toe een snaar. Wallis Bird had meer ballen aan haar lijf dan de meeste mannen. Eentje om in de gaten te houden, kortom. '
