Many ask us: How did you get your name?

27 BIRDS was the first Club where I played original music. It was so named because it was located on the corner of 27th Ave and Bird Rd in Coconut Gove, Fl. I was about 18. I think my band was Full Scale or Cherry Rude at the time. The booking agent told us we couldn't play covers because the club didn't have an ASCAP or BMI license... we needed one more song... we played Breaking the Law by Judas Priest to finish the show, he was irate! We came off stage and he dressed us down and said "I told you not to play any covers and you played the most burnt-out cover there is! You're never playing here again!" He was right...
