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. Despite the hostility of the music industry, they have kept carrying on their DIY spirit, gaining consensus among the audience.

 english version here Esattamente 25 anni e un mese fa, mi apprestavo a vivere una giornata che sapevo essere importante per me e i tanti amici con cui ho sempre condiviso la passione per il rock, ma che mai mi sarei aspettato diventasse qualcosa di cui andare fiero per sempre. Due leggende del rock americano, arrivavano a suonare a un tiro di schioppo dalla mia Cosenza, in un concerto di cui avevo curato l’organizzazione. Tutto era iniziato un po’ di settimane prima quando l’amico fraterno di scorribande rock, Roberto Calabrò , su imput del compianto Romano Pasquini , mi prospettò l’opportunità di portare a casa nostra uno dei nostri idoli musicali assoluti: Deniz Tek dei Radio Birdman era in tour in giro per l’Europa insieme ad un’altra leggenda di Detroit come Scott Morgan (Rationals, Sonic’s Rendezvous Band, Hydromatics). Con loro suonavano i Sonic Assassins ed ex A-10 , Romano al basso, con il fratello Pippo Pasquini alla batteria e Stefano Costantini alla chitarra . P...
