RADIO BIRDMAN - "ALOHA STEVE AND DANNO" 1978 . . . . A TRUE BLUE AUSSIE/NORTH AMERICAN COLLABORATIVE EFFORT . . . . A MAJOR LEAGUE CONTRIBUTOR TO THE IMMEDIATE POST PUNK MUSICAL ENVIRONMENT, SUDDENLY EVERYTHING ELSE BECAME OBSOLETE . . . . FEATURING THE HUGE TALENTS OF ROB YOUNGER, DENIZ TEK, PIP HOYLE, CHRIS MAZUAK ET AL, THESE GUYS DREW A LINE IN THE SAND THAT INDELIBLY MARKED THEM FOR LIFE AS MUSICAL GROUNDBREAKERS IN THE AUSSIE ROCK SCENE . . . . AND ULTIMATELY AROUND THE WORLD . . . . . RADIOS WOULD MOST CERTAINLY APPEAR . . . . AS WOULD RUMOUR, BULLSHIT GOSSIP AND BONAFIDE LEGEND . . . . BIRDMAN WAS FOR REAL, ASK NO QUARTER AND GIVE NOTHING BUT ALL THEY HAD . . . . FUCK THE WORLD AND ALL BE DAMNED !!!!

Nothin much more to say than that really . . . . . well, I lied, there's so much more . . . . plug in, turn up and let it rip . . . . talk about freak out the fucking squares, Birdman talked the talk and sprinted the walk . . . . 

Taking the best of influences from The MC5, Stooges, Dolls, Stones and a whole bunch of their own unique, soaked in napalm, dirty socks rock and roll, this outfit took no prisoners . . . . . they scared the fuck out of mainstream rock circles and blazed a trail that made it possible for the nascent Aussie post punk/indy rock scene to follow into the eighties and beyond . . . . make no bones about it motherfuckers, these dudes made most "so called" punk acts look like whimps . . . .

No more blabbing, cut to the chase, go and buy their shit, put it on, crank the volume and suck up the essence of rock and roll, do some research as well, once again, as The Saints implored thirty plus years ago . . . know your product !!!!!
