Idlewild guitarist / songwriter Rod Jones is hitting the road in February with his new band The Birthday Suit. After seven studio albums, four top 20 singles and numerous world tours, including supporting bands such as REM, Pearl Jam, U2 and The Rolling Stones, Idlewild decided to take a break to concentrate on their individual solo projects. Following this,  Rod formed The Birthday Suit with a selection of friends and local musicians.

The bands debut album, The Eleventh Hour was released on 11th November 2011on Sing It Alone Records and received brilliant reviews so this is your chance to see what all of the fuss is about.
