Guide to the Radio Birdman Archive in the Powerhouse Museum 2009 GUIDE TO THE RADIO BIRDMAN ARCHIVE IN THE POWERHOUSE MUSEUM Prepared by JESSICA McLEAN 2009 CONTENTS Administrative history Series List Series Descriptions COLLECTED ARCHIVES ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY Registration Number: 2006/157/13 Creator: Radio Birdman Radio Birdman formed in Sydney in late 1974. The original band line-up consisted of former members of the bands TV Jones and The Rats. Former members of TV Jones were Deniz Tek (guitar, vocals), and Pip Hoyle (keyboards). Former Rats were Rob Younger (vocals); Ron Keeley (drums); and Carl Rourke (bass) (Rourke was soon replaced by Warwick Gilbert, also formally of The Rats). Radio Birdman's main influences were bands from the United States of America such as the MC5, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, the New York Dolls, Blue Oyster Cult and the Velvet Underground. The band's early live performances reflected these influences, with set lists including covers of songs by these bands, as well as original compositions by Tek, such as 'Man with a Golden Helmet' (which had originally been performed by TV Jones). By the end of 1975 Radio Birdman had established a solid fan base, winning the 'RAM' ('Rock Australia Magazine')/Levi's Punk Band Thriller contest, and securing a residency at the Oxford Tavern, Taylor Square, Darlinghurst. This residency eventually led to the band and their manager George Kringas effectively taking over the venue, organising gigs (booking bands such as the Saints and the Hellcats), and renaming it the Oxford Funhouse. This same year saw a change in the band's line-up, with Hoyle leaving the band (although he would later return in mid 1977), and the addition of a third guitarist, with Chris Masuak joining the band. In October 1976 Radio Birdman released their debut recording, the EP 'Burn My Eye', which was recorded at Trafalgar Studios, Annandale. The record was a limited private pressing which originally could be purchased only by mail order from the Radio Birdman Fan Club, through an advertisement in 'RAM'. Along with The Saints' '(I'm) Stranded', 'Burn My Eye' is credited as one of the first independently released records in Australia. In the same months, the band toured extensively throughout Sydney and New South Wales on their 'Blitzkrieg' tour, having to fit their shows around the schedules of Tek and Hoyle, who were both studying medicine at university. In July 1977 Radio Birdman released their first LP, 'Radios Appear', which included the single 'New Race' (with Hoyle re-joining the band soon after the release). Before the release Radio Birdman toured Melbourne in March for their 'Radios Appear' tour. Tours after the release of the LP included the 'Rock and Roll Soldiers' tour in August, shows in Adelaide during September and November, and a 'Goodbye' tour in December. Also in 1977, Radio Birdman signed to Sire Records (Seymour Stein, then the head of Sire, decided to sign Radio Birdman after witnessing them perform at the Oxford Funhouse). In February 1978 Radio Birdman relocated to the United Kingdom. Soon after this, Sire put out an international release of 'Radios Appear', which included remixed and rerecorded versions of songs from the original release of the album, as well as some new material. While in the United Kingdom, Radio Birdman played regularly in London throughout March and April of 1978 on their 'Anglo Strike' tour. The band then recorded their second album, 'Livings Eyes', at Rockfield Studios in Monmoth, Wales (a record which was belatedly released by WEA in 1981). During the recording of the album Radio Birdman were dropped by Sire, but despite this setback the band toured Europe and the United Kingdom in May and June, ending the tour with a show at Oxford University on 10 June 1978. After this, due to factors such as fatigue, financial stress and tensions between band members , the band parted ways. After Radio Birdman's initial break up, the members of the band remained active in the Australian music scene, often still performing together in bands such as the Comrades of War (a one-off performance in August 1979, when band members performed without Younger), The Visitors (Tek, Hoyle, Keeley), The Hitmen (Masuak, Gilbert), and New Race (a one-off band featuring Tek, Younger and Gilbert with Dennis Thompson of the MC5 and Ron Asheton of the Stooges). Other notable post-Radio Birdman acts include the Other Side (Younger), the New Christs (Younger), and Deniz Tek's solo work (including the Deniz Tek group). Registration Number: 2006/157/13 Creator: Radio Birdman Radio Birdman reformed in 1996 - the first time since their initial break up - touring Australia and performing as part of the line-up of the Big Day Out music festival. They also released a live album titled 'Ritualism' in the same year. Since then they have remained active on and off again, touring occasionally (both nationally and internationally). 2002 saw the release of the 'Essential Birdman' compilation, released through Sub Pop records, as well as a national tour (with Jim Dickson replacing Warwick Gilbert on bass). In 2006 Radio Birdman released 'Zeno Beach' (with Russell Hopkinson, of You Am I, replacing Ron Keely, who had left the band in 2004, on drums), a self-financed album produced by Tek. In January 2007 the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and toured nationally with the Hoodoo Gurus later in the same year.

I grew up an hour away from Manhattan and decades away from the mid-seventies, and there was a time when these circumstances seemed the greatest tragedy of my life. That was when I spent all of my money on records and CDs, when I spent days listening to Patti Smith and Richard Hell, when there was a thrilling sense of danger in the band names “Dead Boys” and “Sex Pistols.” Punk was about disaffection, but I loved it with unfettered and unironic enthusiasm. Every band had something distinctive to listen to, and every band was amazing for it. It was during this manic stage of exploration that I discovered the Dictators, a short-lived group of Noo Yawk punks who cheerfully endorsed hamburgers, cheesy pop hits, and the suburban lifestyle. Fourteen years after they broke up, I was born, and fourteen years after that I discovered and soon fell in love with their debut album, “Go Girl Crazy.” I had purchased the record on vinyl during my freshman year, which meant I could only listen to it in my family’s living room, where my mother’s record player was permanently installed.

  • The New Christ På Väg Till Skandinavien Med Nytt Album!
    2009-05-15 16:22 CEST The New Christ på väg till Skandinavien med nytt album! Det har varit en intressant och turbulent resa för The New Christ sedan de bilades 1984 av legendariska Radio Birdman's frontfigur Rob Younger i samband med att de skulle agera support åt Iggy Pop under hans Australiska turné. Framgången inleddes med ett antal singel utgåvor och därefter följde flera medlemsbyten, först 1989 släpptes deras debutalbum ‘Distemper'. Efter en avslutad succé fylld Europa turné splittrades bandet men återbilades 1990, denna gång för att supporta The Ramones. Ännu en gång tog bandet ett uppehåll, denna gång varade det i tre år innan Rob återtog samarbetet med Christian Houllemare (Happy Hate Me Nots) och Bill Gibson (Lemonheads, Eastern Dark) för att spela in ‘The Pedestal' och ‘Woe Betide'. Albumet 'Lower Yourself' kom ut 1997 och nästa tänkta utgåva 'We Got This' tog sin form i början av 2001. Diverse skivbolagsbekymmer bidrog till att produktionen drog ut på tiden och när det var dags för release hade bandet återigen gått skilda vägar. Efter att Rob tillbringat ett par år med att producera andra band och turnera med det pånyttfödda Radio Birdman bildade han under 2006 den nuvarande versionen av The New Christs. Tidigare basisten Jim Dickson återvände, Stu Wilson (trummor), Dave Kettley (gitarr) och Brent Williams (gitarr) tillkom och den nya sammansättningen har kommit att bli den mest stabila konstellationen. THE NEW CHRISTS har under åren förvärvat sig en kultstämpel, bland både publik, recensenter men även hos andra musiker och de efterfrågas runt om i Europa av hyllande fans.

  • The New Christs
    THE NEW CHRISTS “GLORIA” Twenty five years after they first formed and more than five years since the release of their last studio album, The New Christs deliver their brand new album ‘Gloria’. It has been an interesting journey since Radio Birdman front man Rob Younger formed The New Christs in 1984 to support Iggy Pop on his Australian tour of that year. A number of single releases featuring several line ups of friends followed before the band recorded and released their debut album ‘Distemper’ in 1989. Following the European tour in support of the album release, the band split up before briefly reforming in 1990 to support The Ramones on their Australian tour. Once again after that tour the band took a three year hiatus before Rob teamed up with bassist Christian Houllemare (Happy Hate Me Nots) and Bill Gibson (Lemonheads, KEY SELLING POINTS Eastern Dark) to record ‘The Pedestal’ ep and ‘Woe Betide’ mini-album.

  • Kultbandet the New Christs (AUS) Till Sverige
    2008-04-30 11:38 CEST Kultbandet The New Christs (AUS) till Sverige The New Christs (AUS) 31 maj - Uddevalla, Mortens Krog 1 juni - Stockholm, Debaser Slussen/ w Snuffed By The Yakuza m.m. 3 juni - Malmö, KB Det australiensiska kultbandet The New Christ kommer till Sverige i sommar. De kommer att förvandla allt till ett brinnande, men vackert, inferno. The New Christ bildades 1984 av Rob Younger från legendariska bandet Radio Birdman, en av t.ex. The Hellacopters stora inspirationskällor. Det är inte vem som helst som ligger bakom att New Christ bildades, det började med att Iggy Pop behövde ett öppningsband på sin Australienturné, och frågade Mr Younger om han kunde sätta ihop något. Med hjälp av medlemmar från bland andra Lime Spiders och Radio Birdman bildade han så The New Christ. Turnén blev succé och bandet äntrade studion för att spela in de två singlarna ”Like A Curse” och ”Born Out Of Time”. Men fullängdaren tog tid på sig, först 1989 kom ”Distemper”, bandets biljett till Europa. På nittiotalet turnerade The New Christ i Australien tillsammans med band som Ramones, och i samma årtionde spelade Bill Gibson från Lemonheads gitarr i bandet. Nu är The New Christs tillbaka. Som om året återigen var 1984, tack då kör vi. BILJETTER Stockholm. Obs! Mindre antal biljetter till försäljning än vanligt. Biljetter säljs på www.luger.se/biljetter. DIREKTLÄNK.

  • Athena Winter 2006
    athena Photo by Ian McFarlane; Model: Annie letter from the editor winter 2006 LOVE (luv) a strong, deep affection and devotion for another, unconditional and unexplained I must say that I really enjoyed wearing a wedding dress for this photo shoot. This made me wonder why women love to put on a wedding dress. Is it because wearing it means that someone has chosen you above all others? Is it because you look like the princess you always knew you were? I found myself very excited when Jan at I Do, I Do Bridal Center asked if I would like to wear a tiara with my dress. As she placed it on my head, I was six years old again… Fantasy world is such a lovely place and it is okay to visit every now and again, but it is when reality and fantasy merge that you need to worry. When love is in the picture and you wear rose colored glasses, you might not like what you see when they are removed. So if you think that you might have found the one, take our quiz – it will bring you back to reality. As I get older, I do realize that I am much happier when I make decisions that are reality based. I am not saying you can’t be a little wild with your thoughts and I do believe that most things are attainable if you truly believe in them. And love, above all else, makes the world go ‘round. Love of a significant other, love of a child, love of a parent, love of a friend…just pure, sweet love! So, if you find your life without love, find some and make it yours! Get a cat, mentor a child, work with the elderly or join any number of groups in our community.

  • Like a Sustainable Version: Practising Independence in the Central Sydney Independent Music Scene
    Like a sustainable version: Practising independence in the Central Sydney independent music scene Shams Bin Quader A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Gender and Cultural Studies School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2020 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, not material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. Shams Bin Quader 22 April 2020 SHAMS QUADER i ABSTRACT Independent music is a complex concept. It has meant different things at different historical moments of popular music and within academic, music press and industry discourses. Even though what independent music refers to might not be substantive, it has tended to signify an oppositional ethos comprising practices related to maintaining distinction from commercialised popular music. Historical narratives of popular music reveal that independent music or indie, has been defined and re-defined, from signifying an ethos of resistance comprising anti-major record label and anti- corporatisation attitudes, to rubrics of sound aesthetics, marketing categories and niche audience segments. Its different connotations then should not be assumed. Comprehension of different dimensions of independent music call for theorisation of youth, rebellion, alternative cultures, and their connections with musical forms, along with production and distribution-related organisational infrastructures revolving around them.
