Biography

Vocalist/guitarist Ian McNabb cannot erase the storage of “Wild birds Fly (Whisper to some Scream)” in the thoughts of music listeners. Released in 1984, “Wild birds Take a flight” was McNabb’s highest-charting one using the Icicle Functions in America. Actually, apart from minimal choice radio airplay for “Understanding Jane” and “Evangeline,” it supplied the Icicle Functions’ just U.S. publicity, tagging the music group with a deceptive one-hit question label. McNabb produced the Icicle Functions in 1980 with Chris Layhe (bass) and Chris Sharrock (drums), launching their eponymous debut LP in 1984. Gifted using a deep, wealthy tone of voice, McNabb sang personal music over the Icicle Functions’ first record, like “Out of Period” and “Within the Cauldron of Like,” that rivaled the psychological wallop of “Wild birds Take a flight.” McNabb documented four even more albums using the Icicle Functions prior to starting a single profession. In 1995, McNabb’s single album Head Such as a Rock and roll was lauded by critics. Stripping apart the Icicle Functions’ new influx quirks, McNabb utilized associates ofNeil Young’s Crazy Equine to rip through some raw, guitar-heavy rock and roll similar to Bruce Springsteen. Loud and bluesy, Mind Like a Rock and roll finally set up McNabb as a significant musician among critics. Nevertheless, mainstream acceptance beyond “Birds Take a flight” still eluded him.
