Birdman Randy, the popular house band at Brisbane hotspot The Flying Cock, plan to take what they describe as a ‘massive creative risk’ by covering a song originally performed by superstar Australian DJ, Flume.
Speaking to The Obiter, the notably charismatic and charming lead singer (who you definitely feel like you know from somewhere), said ‘This is going to make some waves.’
‘No one in Brisbane will have heard a cover like this before… unless they were at the Cock last Saturday.’
The band, who plan to ease the dancefloor into the evening with that same Sticky Fingers song you hear every time, will wait until the venue is at maximum capacity before dropping the bomb that is a Flume cover.
The drummer guy could hardly contain his excitement. ‘The floor will packed, the vodka Red Bulls will be ordered, the All Hallows girls will be near the front. And then…they’ll hear… ”when you say it like that woah oh ohhhhhh!”’
Birdman Randy will begin Flumefest with Say It, before kicking on into Never Be Like You, before taking a left and pumping out a rendition of Say It. The band plans to take a quick breather before diving back in with an arrangement of Never Be Like You. To throw everyone off the scent, a sneaky Ignition (Remix) will be dropped on the floor, only to be mopped up by No Scrubs with support from One Dance. Then, out of nowhere, sneak attack: Say It. Never Be Like You. Then to as the lights come up for close, the big closer: Say It.
Safe to say it: you do not want to be anywhere but The Flying Cock this Saturday night. Or next Saturday night. Or the one after that.
