“Bird’s Robe: This Is Family” Documentary First Episode Released

Australian music company Bird's Robe have released the first episode in their ‘Bird’s Robe: This Is Family’ documentary series. The series celebrates 15 years of the label, as well as the stories of its flagship artists.

Titled “The Beginning”, the episode charts the founding of Bird’s Robe as a collective of artists in Sydney’s experimental music scene, eventually coalescing into a more formal organisation.

The episode extensively features founders Mike Solo & Alex Tulett, artists sleepmakeswaves, The Crooked Fiddle Band, Captain Kickarse and the Awesomes, Squat Club, Dumbsaint, Space Project & Solkyri alongside contributions from Chelsea Wolfe, COG, The Fall of Troy, Art As Catharsis Records, Tangled Thoughts of Leaving, We Lost The Sea & many more.

Bird’s Robe Director Mike Solo says:

FINALLY! Here is episode one of our long-awaited documentary.
It’s taken a long time to get here, but we’re ready to share our stories with you.
17 years ago we held the first ever Bird’s Robe show.
15 years ago we launched a label.
We never imagined we’d be here now.

Huge thanks to James O’Connor (From The Pit) for helping edit this together, as well as our interviewers Andy Dowling, Simeon Bartholomew, Nate Hill & all the artists who have contributed to getting this going.

Special thanks to everyone who supported the original kickstarter campaign. Your support was instrumental in kicking things off and we appreciate your patience.

Please check it out, share, let us know what you think & stay tuned for episode two just around the corner.
