Returning for a limited run of shows this month are pioneers of the Australian indie rock scene, Radio Birdman. Their shows will coincide with the release of their definitive edition box set.
Despite forming forty years ago and having only been on the scene for a brief four year period the band gathered a strong and durable following. The box set contains all of their original studio albums plus a previously unreleased live album, outtakes and alternative versions of songs.
“The fans that have stuck with us are really loyal and appreciative of the stuff we did so it’s great to be able to present them with all the original albums and some special unreleased material,” says singer and guitarist Deniz Tek.
Most importantly for fans though is that the band will be reforming. “While the studio albums are good we were never truly able to capture the bands live energy which is the other major part of the equation,” Tek continues. “So I am very excited to come back and perform.”
