Fifty years after their formation in Sydney, the vastly influential punk band Radio Birdman are preparing to call it a day, with a final series of Australian shows over winter culminating with a farewell gig in their home town.
But is this really goodbye? Songwriter and guitarist Deniz Tek isn’t making promises. “The rationale is to go out there and have at least one more Australian tour and say goodbye to the fans properly,” he says, but: “You never know for sure.” Singer Rob Younger isn’t much more definitive: “It’s supposed to be [the last tour], yeah. But, I mean, I wouldn’t want to sign anything in blood.”
