They're named after an 18th century oil painting by Joseph Wright of Derby.
They play minimal, grungey rock with usually indecipherable lyrics that sound slightly Polly Jane Harvey shrieking at Kurt Cobain in an underground public convenience.
They're well loved in many quarters, mainly for their refusal to be pigeon-holed like many young London bands - as 'Shoreditch'.
They're names are C-Bird, D-Bird and X-Bird and they cite Tina Turner as one of their influences.
