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

Australian music company Bird’s Robe have released the third 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 “Mikefest”, the episode continues the story of Bird’s Robe, with flashbacks to the record label’s 5th Birthday festival back in 2015. The event showcased Bird’s Robe’s progression from a collective of artists in Sydney’s experimental music scene, to a more formal organisation as a record label & management company.

The episode features commentary and performance highlights from sleepmakeswaves, Troldhaugen, Toehider, Meniscus, Anubis, Solkyri, Dumbsaint, Captain Kickarse and the Awesomes, Mish, Pirate, Dream Cities & more.

Bird’s Robe Director Mike Solo says:

OK fine we’ll call it Mikefest.

This week’s episode is a throwback to a simpler time - one glorious day of post-rock, prog and popcorn that was fondly dubbed ‘Mikefest’ by the bands at the time.

Back in 2015 we celebrated 5 years as a formal record label with an all-day party at Manning Bar in Sydney. It was a celebration for all, it was a farewell for some & it was all in all a very memorable moment for us, which we’ve been thinking about for the past ten years.

If you were there, or if you joined us to watch the full concert online during the pandemic - hopefully you enjoy reliving it again and the behind the scenes chat we’ve added.

If you weren’t there, maybe this one is a good way to tap in to see what these acts are all about.

Either way, perhaps we’ll see you again this December?

Big thanks to James O’Connor (From The Pit), Clipped.TV, Martyn Taylor & everyone watching for your support thus far.

Stay tuned for Episode 4 in a couple of weeks. Plus some massive tour announcements on the way soon!
