John Oates' Surprise LA Guest Appearance
the bird and the bee, the duo of singer Inara George and multi-instrumental/producer Greg Kurstin, kicked off a musical scavenger hunt for their fans today by premiering all nine songs from their new album, Interpreting The Masters Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates on nine different websites: AOL Spinner, BrooklynVegan, Entertainment Weekly, Idolator, MySpace, PerezHilton, Prefix, SPIN and USA Today (links to all tracks below). Featuring eight classic covers and one original song, “Heard It On The Radio”, the band’s love letter to the "rock & soul" duo, will be released on March 23 courtesy of EMI’s Blue Note Records.
the bird and the bee also played a once-in-a-lifetime concert on Friday night in Los Angeles to celebrate the album's impending release and were joined on stage by very special surprise guest, John Oates, for performances of “Maneater,” “She’s Gone,” and “I Can’t Go For That”. In a rave review in today’s Los Angeles Times, August Brown wrote that Oates “couldn’t have asked for a more articulate love letter than the one the bird and the bee just gave him.” The entire concert was webcast live at Livestream.com, and will be archived on the site starting March 22.
