	Radio Birdman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radio Birdman was one of the first punk bands.
		Radio Birdman began recording in 1976 (see 1976 in music) when the single "Burn My Eye" was released.
		Eureka Birdman, a bootleg recorded at the Eureka Hotel in Geelong, Victoria, is so widespread it almost could be counted as an official release.

	NationMaster.com - Encyclopedia: Radio Birdman
		Radio Birdman is possibly Australian rock's most legendary band, cutting a completely individual path through the music of the day, and exploding into fragments at the peak of the group's power, just like fireworks should.
		In December 1974, within a month of forming, Radio Birdman was performing its first gigs, playing some originals, and extending their repertoire with cover versions of songs by the Dictators and Blue Oyster Cult, surf songs, Ventures, The Doors, Alice Cooper, John Lennon's 'Cold Turkey' and more.
		As well as being loud, Radio Birdman added to their menacing image with paramilitary stage clothes, and the parading of the band's mystical-looking eagles wings-flying saucer symbol, the band and its followers a cult united against the world.

		Radio was dominated by disco music or soft rock.
		Radio Birdman were naive...they didn't know what the rules were at the time, and if they had known they probably wouldn't have cared, so they fell in the cracks.
		Radio Birdman opened the door for a whole new scene by showing bands that they could take control of things and arrange gigs and records on their own terms.

	Radio Birdman Story
		Radio Birdman was started by Deniz Tek and Rob Younger inmid 1974 in Sydney...a time when the music around themseemed to be at a dead end.
		So the second edition of Radios Appear is actually a hybrid, keeping what the band saw as the best of their earlier recordings, with the best of the newer live material, and a fresh album cover, with the final lineup incorporating Pip.
		Radio Birdman reformed in January of 1996 with all original members, and did two national tours of Australia over the ensuing year.

		Radio Birdman was founded in Australia by Ann Arbor, Michigan native, guitarist Deniz Tek, Rob Younger (vocals,) Pip Hoyle (keyboards) and Ron Keeley (drums.) Completing the lineup heard on this set are Chris Masuak (guitar) and Warwick Gilbert (bass).
		Their first album, Radios Appear was released stateside by Sire in 1978, but much of the material on The Essential Radio Birdman will be seeing a U.S. release for the first time ever.
		The Essential Radio Birdman (1974-1978) is a 22-track single-disc collection made up of tracks taken from their Burn My Eye EP, the classic Radios Appear album, the More Fun EP (a live recording from 1977) and the Living Eyes album.

	TrouserPress.com :: Radio Birdman
		Longtime cult darlings well on their way to becoming one of Australian rock's most enduring legends, Sydney's Radio Birdman sprang from a primordial stew comprised of the Doors, Stooges, MC5 and Blue öyster Cult.
		Birdman had broken up one tour after the LP's completion, scattering its members around Australia to go forth and multiply (band-wise), bolstering the country's already thriving underground with numerous new groups.
		The Visitors, a short-lived project that also included Birdman drummer Ron Keeley, released an album in '82 (previewed on a four-song EP) of semi-memorable tracks (like "Euro Girls") that departs from the pair's past work to focus on an overtly '60s-style Lyres sound that relies heavily on Farfisa-style organ and B-movie kitsch.

	Jack Feeny reviews: Radio Birdman
		Radio Birdman are not a recent band, though, but one that split up to the regret of no-one in particular over twenty years ago.
		Given the contemporaneous nature of their development it is unlikely the Ramones had a strong influence on Radio Birdman but it is interesting to note that both revelled in a similarly naive and light-hearted approach to rock'n'roll, despite taking their cues from the political ferocity of the MC5 and the debauched diatribes of the Stooges.
		Radio Birdman were obviously not the world's most adventurous band, but they were certainly one of the most energetic, and when one considers that they were one of the first names in the garage rock history books their approach deserves many more plaudits than it currently garners.

		The Radio Birdman saga began in 1973 with The Rats (a band comprising Mick Lynne on bass, Rob Younger on vocals, Warwick Gilbert on guitar and Ron Keeley on drums).
		Radio Birdman scored their first regular gig at the Excelsior Hotel, playing some original songs along with covers of songs by The Stooges, MC5, The Remains, Blue Oyster Cult and The Doors.
		Radio Birdman had one other album (also called, confusingly, Radio's Appear) released globally by Sire and containing tracks taken from their original Australian LP with a few new tracks (and some re-recorded tracks from the first album).

		Radio Birdman developed a do-it-yourself approach to the running of their career from now on.
		In a first for Australian music Radio Birdman became the subject of a live bootleg album 'Eureka Birdman' (recorded at the Eureka Hotel in Geelong on November 30, 1977).
		Remixing their albums for CD release in 1995 led to Radio Birdman itself reforming for a national tour, returning in December 1996 in support of a mail order only live album 'Ritualism' on the band's own Crying Sun label.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Radio Birdman
		It's no surprise that after the band broke up in 1978, Radio Birdman's members found their way into many other successful Australian bands, as well as collaborating with members of the Stooges and the MC5.
		Referring to The Essential Radio Birdman (1974-1978) as a "history lesson" suggests that the record is an interesting but ultimately dated artifact of a bygone era.
		Radio Birdman never really had a chance to make it big in the US...but now, more than twenty years after the fact, it looks like they're finally getting their shot.

	Something Old, Something New: Radio Birdman
		Radios Appear was reissued with some of the original songs left intact and some re-recorded, plus a chunk of new material, including the phenomenal "Aloha Steve & Danno" (an unapologetic Hawaii Five-O swipe coupled with a go-nowhere-life-in-front-of-the-TV narrative by Younger) which is posted here.
		Radio Birdman toured Europe and England and recorded a second album, Living Eyes, in Wales in 1978.
		Radio Birdman are still touring today, and they have recently been playing new songs for an album which should be released later this year.

	Radio Birdman: The Essential Radio Birdman Aversion.com Review
		Radio Birdman, however, is the missing link between modern Australian punks and punk?s first wave, though it?s a bit of musical Darwinism that?s been lost to most American ears for years, as the Australian band?s catalog?s been out of print stateside for years.
		Radio Birdman never spins off into the brink of raw punk nihilism or power, though it?s easy to see the connection between Birdman?s rock and punk: Both feature gnarly guitars and an aesthetic that puts powerful execution before virtuosity.
		Radio Birdman?s style doesn?t capture the unhinged glory of early punk acts, but the affinity between the two should be enough to capture the imagination of many a punk fan.

	NOW : Music : Radio Birdman Soar : Jul 26 - 1, 2001
		Hearing the feral power of Radio Birdman at their peak on the Essential Radio Birdman 1974-1978, it's easy to understand the group's lasting appeal.
		Radio Birdman colloquialisms like "burn my eye" soon became the language of the cult-like following that congregated at the group's Oxford Tavern hang-out in Sydney.
		Not long after Sire re-released Radio Birdman's Radios Appear debut -- much of which turns up on the 22-track Sub Pop compilation along with the best songs from the 80s' Living Eyes and three live recordings -- the group was dropped while on tour in England.

		Although Radio Birdman were an Australian band, Tek, who played guitar and wrote most of the songs for the band, is an American who came from Ann Arbor, Michigan, home of the Stooges.
		Radio Birdman lasted until the disastrous tour of the UK, and their story is told elsewhere, so we won’t rehash it here.
		Radio Birdman was on tour again, it was just like we picked up where we left off.

	Radio Birdman: The Essential Radio Birdman (1974-1978): Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It's things like their ability to shamelessly reference things (their very name is a phrase nicked from the Stooges' "1970") and get away with it on the strength of their sheer manic energy that made Radio Birdman great.
		This track exemplifies more than any other that Radio Birdman were not just a punk band, but another thing entirely, a dexterous unit whose regrettably short existence managed to produce some transcendent music.
		Unfortunately, it seems as if Radio Birdman were the right band at the wrong time, and they never managed to turn their strengths into success.

		Radio Birdman sind eine der frühesten australischen Punk Bands.
		Ihre erste LP, Radios Appear wurde vom kommerziellen Rundfunk völlig ignoriert, hatte aber in dem Sydneyer Sender 2JJ (Double Jay) einen Fürsprecher gefunden und ausreichend Erfolg in Australien um einen Vertrag mit Sire Records (US-Label und Heimat der Ramones) an Land zu ziehen, welche eine abgeänderte Version von Radios Appear international veröffentlichten.
		Sowohl die frühen Arbeiten von INXS als auch die von Midnight Oil waren stark von Radio Birdmans Musikstil (der wiederum starke Einflüsse von MC5 und The Stooges aufwies) beinflußt.

	Radio Birdman at the 2003 Meredith Festival
		Radio Birdman were headlining this festival (after having been second billed at that festival in Spain to Twisted Sister).
		The rest were those who probably had heard of Radio Birdman once, thinking they were some band from America or something, and there were others who were totally uninitiated.
		It goes without saying that each member of Radio Birdman is basically a virtuoso at what he does; they have no issue with technicalities of music.

	Radio Birdman - The Essential Radio Birdman (1974-1978) Review
		When I received this album I had no idea who Radio Birdman was or what this “anthology” had to do with Sub Pop.
		Radio Birdman was a high-energy rock band much in the style of The Stooges or MC5 but incorporated a bit more of an accessible sound to it.
		Their sound was completely originally for the time and after hearing them you will associate many bands that came long after Radio Birdman that borrowed heavily from their sound.

		Australia has a good argument in Radio Birdman, a raucous six-piece assembled by lead guitarist (and Michigan native, for those in the U.S. looking for more ammo) Deniz Tek.
		Radio Birdman made new waves in Australia by mixing the swagger of the Stones and the Stooges with surf and garage rock.
		Punk and classic rock fans may be surprised at how comfortably they slip into the sounds of an act that existed thousands of miles away from their own musical and cultural revolutions.

		Radio Birdman in fact was an obscurity to most of the world outside their native Australia.
		Considering what was happening back in '78 where seemed the most interesting thing happening in music at the time was the latest score for the upcoming James Bond flick.
		Well in an odd sort of way, I feel that hearing this collection from Radio Birdman gives me a bit more depth as a listener, writer and music fan -- I never had known something this crafty and cool really existed during the time.

		Riscoprendo i tornado di violenza orgiastica e perversione dei maestri di Detroit, i Radio Birdman diedero di fatto il la` al rinascimento punk in Australia e stabilirono di fatto un cliche' che sarebbe durato per tutto il decennio successivo.
