Radio BirdmanAussie rock trailblazers Radio Birdman – yes, very nearly the real, actual, foundation version of Radio Birdman – have announced that they’ll be hitting the road this October and November for a limited run of performances, proudly presented by The Music.
Founding members Rob Younger, Deniz Tek, and Pip Hoyle will be joined by early-noughties recruit Jim Dickson and “other friends” to complete the sojourn, which serves something of a celebratory function, going down in conjunction with a forthcoming re-issue of the band’s entire iconic back catalogue.
That sweet release will include a limited-edition CD box set, providing remastered versions of the band’s studio albums, Radios Appear (Trafalgar and Sire versions) and Living Eyes, which also come with a standalone bonus disc of largely previously unreleased material, which should get the diehards salivating nicely. You’ll also score a copy of an unreleased live concert recorded at Paddington Town Hall in 1977, just before they left the UK, in double-LP format.
The studio full-lengths will consequently be re-released on vinyl in the months leading up to Christmas. Joy to the world.
Radio Birdman’s 2014 Australian tour kicks off at Newcastle’s Cambridge Hotel on Friday, October 31.
Tickets are available from today through a variety of outlets; see the Gig Guide or check The Music App for more information.
