RADIO BIRDMAN
WARWICK GILBERT, RON KEELEY, CHRIS MASUAK, DENIZ TEK, ROB YOUNGER
Australian proto-punk band whose high-energy sound
(inspired by the Stooges and MC5) became influential to punks the world over.
Although the best-known band of the early Australian punk scene of the late '70s was
the Saints, the first band to wave the punk rock flag in the land down under was
Radio Birdman. Formed by Australian émigré Deniz Tek (originally from Ann Arbor, MI)
and Aussie surfer-turned-vocalist Rob Younger in 1974, Radio Birdman's approach
to rock & roll was rooted in the high-energy, apocalyptic guitar rant of the Stooges and MC5,
sprinkled liberally with a little East Coast underground hard rock courtesy of Blue Öyster Cult.
Their first EP, Burn My Eye, released in 1976, was a great record and still remains
a seminal chunk of Aussie punk. Loud and snotty, with Younger bellowing his guts
out and Tek on a search-and-destroy mission with his guitar, this was
a great debut that set the stage for the impending deluge of Aussie punk bands waiting in the wings
