Back home when we were old enough to drive we used to sneak off from school over lunch and cruise down to the drive thru for some dirty bird. Dirty bird is what we called KFers. I thought it might have been a slang exclusive to our region. The cover art for EBAGC’s Dirty Bird features a sketch of a roast chook, so I’m guessing it’s a ‘Strayan term that applies to all less-than-healthy poultry. Anyway. The track opens with a commanding vocal bloodletting, giving way to some dark and dirty ‘Strayan folk. A solid harbinger for the band’s full-length return in 2014 with Seven Drummers.
