Radio Birdman’s comeback in Italy is an unmissable occasion to get again in touch with a legendary band that has a key role in the hsitory of australian rock. Three studio albums (Radios Appear, Living Eyes) published in different years (1977, 1981 e 2014), two Eps, a bunch of singles and three live records (Ritualism, Live in Texas and Live at Paddington Town Hall from 1977) show a way of intending rock’n’roll which combines the proto-punk fury of Stooges and Mc5 with the psychedelic sound of the Doors, therefore becoming a very unique experience in the aussie rock scene. In three years and a half, from the end of ’74 to the summer of ‘78, Radio Birdman have managed to acquire the status of prime movers in a scene which will evolve significantly in the next decade.

Deniz Tek, Me and Paolo Gironi There's no better thing for a music fan than to get in touch with his/her music idol. That's what happened to me with Deniz Tek: even if I can't call it friendship, it's something very close. The first time I asked to take a picture with him was after a Deniz Tek Group gig in Rome. I never thought I could become promoter, sound engineer and photographer in his and Scott Morgan 's live album Three Assassins (Career records, 2004). Not to mention how much I've played his songs during my radio show. But the thing I like the most is to watch him onstage, just like it happened in Bologna, during the last gig of Radio Birdman's European tour . That night I wondered if I could ask Deniz some questions, and get the chance for an interview. Here it is. Enjoy your reading. Let’s start from the european tour: 20 gigs, plain success.
