radio birdman in tejas

now this is interesting. radio birdman, the band that (with the saints) brought punk to orstralia wa-a-ay back in '74, reformed in '96, released a new album and toured extensively last year, be's at emo's, the dump i've always considered "america's live music capital"(R)'s answer to club clearview, on sunday, june 24th. inasmuch as i don't make pilgrimages to see bands anymore, this is one i'd definitely make if i did. this is far from a nostalgia act, and founder-gtrist-songwriter deniz tek is one of _the guys_ imo. dig the vids on their myspace thingy for proof positive.
