5 years. Who would have thought it’d ever get this far?
Having started booking gigs and networking in 2008, by 2010, this fledgling concept of ‘The Bird’s Robe Collective’ had begun to morph into something more than just organizing a few shows. Local acts were starting to band together and express interest in collaborating, and were progressing towards writing more than just a couple tracks for an EP – debut albums were on the horizon. It was exciting.
So I made the decision to start a label – and in October, Bird’s Robe Records was launched with our first two releases: ‘Musodynamics’ by The Bird’s Robe Collaboration Band, featuring members of Pirate, Slimey Things, Squid, Fuji Collective and produced by Alex O’Toole from Captain Kickarse and the Awesomes; and ‘Sppears’ by Japanese act Vampillia.
It wasn’t long before momentum grew and with our first 12 months we’d released the debut albums from sleepmakeswaves, Pirate, Mish, Toehider, Lander Configurations and new releases from Anubis, Solkyri, Ruins-alone and more.
Since then, we’ve clocked up over 50 releases with a roster of 40 acts, including UK legends 65daysofstatic, art-rockers The Red Paintings, Perth experimentalists Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, Sydney’s Dumbsaint and Brisbane prog icons Arcane.
Along the way, we have seen so many of these acts reach new heights – touring overseas, supporting major international artists, playing festivals around the world, hitting sales and radio charts and playing to enthusiastic audiences at home and abroad. Not to mention, many ridiculous things, such as 3 ARIA nominations, a Top 40 record and sold out shows in four different continents.
Perhaps more than anything however, the greatest achievement is the sense of community around the label and more broadly, the ‘scene’ in Australia and abroad. The whole reason Bird’s Robe started back in 2008 was because there was no scene to speak of, no awareness or support for underground experimental, progressive, instrumental music. The fact that such a thing now exists and people continue to support these artists, makes me incredibly happy.
So with that in mind, what better way to celebrate 5 years as a label (and 7 years as a collective) than throwing a massive party-show? With as many Bird’s Robe bands as can fit, in our hometown of Sydney, where it all started.
This lineup features some of the acts most dear to my heart – and most instrumental (pun intended) in establishing the scene and label over the past few years. Of course, not all of the acts can be with us, but I’ve done the best I can (with the budget available to me, which is small).
Over the next 12 weeks, we’ll be announcing the lineup piece by piece, so watch this space. You won’t be disappointed.
This has always been a labour of love – so I would love for you to join us in celebrating these amazing artists and helping share their wonderful music around the world.
