at the pub, or at a party, whenever you're stuck, for what to say,
if
you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try,
look
'em right in the eye and say g'day..."

Into
the vault
Led
by guitarists Deniz Tek (Detroit born) and Chris Masuek (born in
Canada) and singer Rob Younger, Inspired by Iggy Pop and the Stooges,
Radio Birdman generated such a wild scene in Sydney in the mid-1970s,
they had to lease their own pub to play in because they'd been banned
everywhere else. Tek, Masuak and Younger all became prominent record
producers along with continuing to play in bands. From 1975, here's
Radio Birdman.
Three
songs from their 1975 debut album, Radios Appear:
