Some of you are probably aware that I spent a fair bit of time earlier this year immersed in the return of
Radio Birdman . I played "Zeno Beach" endlessly,
reviewed a
couple of their Melbourne shows, updated their
Wikipedia page and lobbed a load of links and other bits and pieces into the I-94 Bar's
Zeno Beach site. I did it because I wanted to, and enjoyed every minute of it.
So I was hugely surprised and pleased to get a parcel in the mail the other day, containing an enormous one sheet poster for the September 29th show at the
Live Club, in Milan, and a beautiful limited edition print of this
Stainboy work of art:
Not sure how it made the journey from San Francisco to my house, but it's gonna look mighty fine up on the wall.
That is a wonderful thank-you for all your dedication and hard work. I bet you were pretty moved when you opened the parcel.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to frame it, right TJ?
Cheers, Michelle
Why TJ, I do believe that that is positively ASS-tastic!
ReplyDeleteI was more than moved- to be honest I nearly wet my pants!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be framed in the next week or two.
ASS-tastic indeed!

ReplyDeleteActually the blue beauty looks a tad cheeky if not devilish...I don't think incontinence supplies will be enough under the circumstances ;-D
ReplyDeleteCheers, Michelle
oh my god, TJ. i want
ReplyDeleteI was at that record release party that the poster is for and they weren't printed yet, then I was at the show and by the time I got over to the merch booth they were sold out... so I'm jealous, although I could probably get one if I put out some effort....

I think he's got some for sale on his website, Crystal.

ReplyDeleteActually, it turns out that the true tale is simply that Radio Birdman's tour manager, John Needham, was grabbing spare posters/tour art all along the way. He gave a fistful to the Barman, and the Barman passed a couple of 'em along to me.
ReplyDeleteWell, hell, I got them back onto the Nepean from that Moorooduc gig.
