Love that New Race album ,even got those grey area CDs of the other gigs.Seems they got those from tapes from Ron Asheton,I understand Rob Younger in particular wasn't happy about that. Citadel or Redeye may be able to get copies for anyone interested. I don't know whether its still available, but there's a great book about RB by Vivien Johnson. What is it about RB that leave's you undecided? I must admit to being a complete Radio Birdman fanatic and therefore my opinion is biased in the extreme. I never saw RB in 1996 (they only played the BDO in Adelaide) but people who have seen both rate the 2002 concerts higher for what it's worth. Iggy pulled out at the last minute for some reason that I've forgotten.Ĭousinit - Some great gigs you've seen. Unfortunately, I missed them when they toured Australia in 1981.Ī gig in the late seventies that a lot of people in Australia were looking forward to, was a double bill with Iggy Pop and Radio Birdman. I've got the New Race album also, great stuff. Tomd is right, both Citadel and Redeye have "Radios Appear" and "Living Eyes", definitely worth picking up. I also recently imported the first 6 CCR remasters by Steve on vinyl. If you like either The Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls, Velvets, Blue Oyster Cult or garage rock you should check these guys out.Īs an interesting aside, two of the members of the band are Doctors (Deniz Tek : Guitarist\Song writer and Pip Hoyle : Keyboards). The Velvet Underground are my favorite band of all time but Radio Birdman are No. Sub-pop also released a compilation last year called "Essential" on both vinyl and CD which is well worth tracking down. They released 2 albums "Radios Appear" and "Living Eyes". Both live and on record they were\are amazing. I saw this band many times in the 70's as well as last year when they reformed for a short tour here in Australia. This band formed in Australia in the mid 70's and played Detroit\Garage inspired rock. Anyway I was wondering whether anyone here is a fan (heard of) Radio Birdman. I've been lurking on this forum for some time but couldn't post for some reason.
