Radio Birdman : Retaliate First
Radio Birdman - Book - by Murray Engleheart
(2025)
Sydney's legendary Radio Birdman were a stake through the satin and
scarfed hearts of the mid seventies' music scene, revolutionising the
conservative Australian industry in the process. Regarded as one of the
earliest punk bands, before the world had heard of the Sex Pistols,
Birdman were feared and loathed by many, yet adored by fiercely loyal
fans. But their story has never been told in depth-until now.
Murray Engleheart's Radio Birdman: Retaliate First is drawn from more
than 150 interviews with the band members, their closest associates,
devotees and observers. From tales of singer Rob Younger filling his
mouth with sheep brains from a human skull to fans breaking limbs while
dancing wildly at gigs and publicans cutting the power in a desperate
bid to halt their force-of-nature-like performances, the Radio Birdman
story is one of confrontation, commitment and inspiration. With 2024
marking their half-century of existence, and a commemorative tour that
may be their last, it's the perfect time to look back over fifty years
of the band that never took a backward step and made rock and roll
thrilling and dangerous once more.
Radio Birdman is the ultimate
insider's guide to how Australia's most hated act were inducted into
the ARIA Hall of Fame and became global icons.
