the Alan Baird project

Upon first glance, you might think The Alan Baird Project is the product of a science experiment in interbreeding pop culture stereotypes. Visually, these four individuals present a puzzling paradox of clichés: the brooding lead singer, skinny girl pants and all, whose lyrical vocals reveal a front man as mysterious and Emo-tional as they come; the volatile and unpredictable Punked-out drummer, dressed perpetually in… black, of course; the cool and collected Bass-man whose Bootsy Collins afro indicates that some white boys do got soul; and… a farm boy? Who, despite his trucker cap and sneakers, can play the geh-tar like a mother fucking riot.
