The MB's have been around a while.  Kiwi indie types, I believe.

I bet you anything you like Radio Birdman are more famous in Australia than
BOC.  They never toured the US, but in Oz, and to a lesser extent in Europe,
they are rightly legendary.  And they're about as much a "BOC cover band" as
BOC are an Animals cover band.

BTW, Radio Birdman's name come from a Stooges song, whereas a "mutton bird"
is the short-tailed Australasian shearwater.
