With the start of their BIRDMAN 5-0 50th Anniversary tour only a couple of weeks away, iconic ARIA Hall of Famers and legendary outsiders of Australian rock’n’roll RADIO BIRDMAN are also the subject of a new biography entitled RADIO BIRDMAN: RETALIATE FIRST, authored by esteemed Sydney rock writer Murray Engleheart (AC/DC Maximum Rock & Roll, with Arnaud Durieux, and Blood Sweat and Beers – Oz Rock from The Aztecs to Rose Tattoo) and published July 2 by Allen & Unwin.
In a post on their socials Radio Birdman said: “Acclaimed author Murray Engleheart has written what promises to be, far and away, the most in-depth and complete history of Radio Birdman to date. Years in the making, Retaliate First is a compelling synthesis of thousands of hours of research, first-hand accounts and unique insights. It’s a must read for anyone who wants to know what really happened.”
The announcement comes as the tour closes in on being a complete sell-out, with all three Sydney shows and one of two Brisbane shows having now sold out, only a handful of tickets left for the other Brisbane show and both Melbourne shows (with special guests Civic) and the one Adelaide show on track to also reach capacity.
