Descent into the Maelstrom - The Radio Birdman Story
Available on Pluto TV, Philo, Prime Video, Tubi TV
The true story of Radio Birdman, the band that changed Australia. Uncompromising, driven, high energy rock'n'roll. In 1974 Radio Birdman created a new music in Australia and changed the landscape forever. Kicked out and shut down, they started their own venue, attracting a 'New Racce' of inner-city kids and a cult-like following. From their first empty gigs, to the notorious 'Van of Hate' and the bitter break up in England, this is their story. But Radio Birdman persevere, re-uniting years later, their intensity undimmed. For anyone who is interested in how bands work, or don't work at times, this is Essential viewing. Yeah Hup!
