Bird's Robe: This Is Family A Documentary Series
15 years ago, Bird's Robe Records was launched with a live show in a little club in Sydney called the Excelsior Hotel, along with our first 2 releases.
Since then, it's been a truly incredible ride. Hundreds of shows, thousands of fans & millions of streams (not dollars, haha), for artists who don't tread a musical path that would be considered conventional.
This is the story of how some of Australia's most unlikely underground musicians were drawn in together under a bird-themed moniker and go on to form a scene that would see its music shared across the globe.
This multi part documentary series seeks to tell the story of both the label and its many associated artists in ambitious fashion - because the story of Bird's Robe, is the story of the bands themselves. To date 4 episodes have been released covering the early days of Bird's Robe up until the labels 5 year anniversary in 2015 plus an episode dedicated to Meniscus, the seminal post rock band from Sydney. Many more episodes are slated for release in 2025 and 26.
