"DESCENT INTO THE MAELSTROM" THE RADIO BIRDMAN STORY & SOUNDTRACK OUT NOW!

The new full length documentary movie about Radio Birdman is here!

Independent filmmaker Jonathan Sequeira's "Descent Into The Maelstrom” tells our story in a captivating and hard-hitting way. The film does not shy away from controversy and pulls no punches. It maintains the tradition of uncompromising artistic integrity that the band has always valued.

Accompanying the film will be the Funhouse Jukebox soundtrack. Released on June 9, the soundtrack features 13 songs from bands like The Saints, The Easybeats and The Ramones as well as rare tracks from pre-Birdman outfits The Rats (feat Rob Younger, Warwick Gilbert, Ron Keeley) and TV Jones (aka Cunning Stunt feat Deniz Tek). Stocked with Rob Younger’s personal collection of singles, this compilation is a combination of Radio Birdman songs + tracks that appeared on the actual Funhouse jukebox at Sydney’s Oxford Hotel in 1977.

NORTHEAST PARTY HOUSE ANNOUNCE 'CALYPSO BEACH' NATIONAL TOUR

Melbourne’s Northeast Party House today announce a national run of shows in support of new single ‘Calypso Beach’. The tour, presented by triple j and Select Touring will see the band take their critically acclaimed high-energy live show around the country this May/June. The tour news comes just weeks after the band was announced on hit regional festival Groovin’ The Moo – with Maitland, Bendigo and Canberra already sold out and remaining dates selling fast.

Joining the band in all capital cities (excl. Perth) for the ‘Calypso Beach Tour’ will be Perth indie pop duo Mosquito Coast, plus special guests in each state.

Calypso Beach is the third single to be lifted from Northeast Party House’s highly anticipated and critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘Dare’ and follows up radio hits ‘For You’ and ‘Heartbreaker’.

Front man Zachary Hamilton-Reeves explains the song…

“I wrote the chorus vocal in the car park of Wet’n’Wild after being inspired by the ride 'Calypso Beach' and the feeling of being stuck in cycles. Calypso Beach explores being in a moment and letting go, allowing something else to take control.”

Listen to ‘Calypso Beach’ below:

Northeast Party House will also be part of Fremantle’s ‘Sets On The Beach’ and South Gippsland’s ‘The Hills Are Alive’ festivals in March.
