The Birthday Suit is a Scottish indie rock band from Edinburgh, formed in 2011 by Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones.
[1] Alongside Jones, the band's line-up includes Jacqueline Irvine, David Jack, Steve Morrison, Séan McLaughlin and Catrin Pryce-Jones.
Guitarist and backing vocalist, Jones, subsequently formed The Birthday Suit the following year after writing material for his second solo album.
I began writing a set of completely new songs which turned out to have more of an indie rock sound, and it felt more like band material than solo stuff.
I honestly think we made some great records, and maybe we will do again some day, but without the rose tinted glasses I probably had fixed to my face at the time, I realise there were definitely opportunities squandered.
Too late in the bands life came the notion that throwing yourself around the stage and making a racket was great in a club but maybe didn't translate to an arena or stadium crowd.
