In November 2017 I said that there was going to be more of Radio Birdman to come... I am able to fulfil this now with a bootleg (1000 copies) single released in the US. The 4 track 7” EP contains outtakes from the recording sessions at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales during April 1978. This is the first of four posts featuring Australian bands for today Tuesday, and tomorrow (Wednesday obviously). Yes this is a similar idea that DjJedRedy @ MyVinylDreams has running, but hopefully there won’t be too many overlaps. The first band to wave the punk rock flag in the land down under was Radio Birdman. Formed by Australian émigré Deniz Tek (originally from Ann Arbor, MI) and Aussie surfer-turned-vocalist Rob Younger in 1974, Radio Birdman's approach to rock & roll was rooted in the high-energy, apocalyptic guitar rant of the Stooges and MC5, sprinkled liberally with a little East Coast underground hard rock courtesy of Blue Öyster Cult.
