Radio Birdman “Live in Texas” – LP Review

Review: Lana Harris


Buy This Album Here!		   Radio Birdman are Australian old school punk rock, around since the times of The Saints and inevitably compared to them. Their punk elements blend with a healthy dash of the pub rock feel that often comes from Australian acts. Radio Birdman are the group you can chuck it on at a party and no-one will text you at four in the morning asking ‘who was that playing when I downed the tenth shot of tequila?’ because its one line chorus has been stuck in their head ever since.

PHILADELPHIA GRAND JURY ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE, HEADLINE TOUR & MOVE TO THE UK

Do you want a double pass to The Philly Jays Melbourne or Brisbane show? See below for details.

The single is joined by three exclusive never-heard-before tracks.

B-side number one is a disco remix of Philadelphia Grand Jury album track ‘Wet Winter Holiday’ by Mike FWD. The next is a solo track by band lead singer and producer Berkfinger called ‘Jimmy At The Whorehouse’ which is the first cut off a self-produced solo concept album due out later in the year on the band’s own label Normal People Making Hits.

Sunday Selection: Strange Attractors : 28 June 2009

LifeMusicMedia Sunday Selection is your weekly view to Queensland Artists

Strange Attractors - Photo by Amelia Dowd   All are, in essence, strangely attractive, some however are more strangely than others. Emerging from today’s scattered musical turbulence, and the chaotic urban grind, seven music makers come together to dabble in psychedelic rock n roll and to observe its effects upon a new generation of hearts and minds. They are commonly known as The Strange Attractors, borrowing their name from a cereal box spouting chaos theory anecdotes, and have come to represent that curious allure that exists well outside of conventional beauty.

Stuart: Hey guys, great to see you back touring Australia. This is your second visit here, do you have any “stand out” memories from last years Australian tour?

Simon: All the shows last time were a ton of fun. we couldn’t believe how much people knew our records and everyone knows how to have a killer evening. one of the venues flooded on the day of the gig which was bizarre but apart from soggy, crinkled feet it all ran pretty smoothly.
