Visitors CD shipping next week

The re-mastered re-issue of the Visitors' one and only album is shipping from Citadel Records Mail Order late this week or early next. If you can imagine some of Deniz Tek's best song-writing transposed over form Radio Birdman and fused with a one-guitar-and-keyboard-band with a different singer, you'll know what to expect.

The band plays The Empire Hotel at Annandale in Sydney next Saturday with Mick Medew & The Rumours (Brisbane) and 25th Floor in support. A must-attend, I would think.

"...and ate it with his bleeding hands"

Now, I swear I wasn't looking for this...

With legendary Radio Birdman spin-off The Visitors starting a run of shows with a freebie in Wollongong on Saturday night, this online story recalls the lyrics ("He killed a shark/And ate it with his bleeding hands") of their song "Brother John". It even namedrops its writer, Iceman (aka Dr Tek.)

Visitors live 2008: Living World

From the revived Radio Birdman-outgrowth's recent support spot to the BellRays in Brisbane. Pity you can't hear Pip.
