Raidio Daize
Raidio Daize is a 5-track EP featuring the following songs.
We have gained great support and encouragement from several people, many of whom are members of the radio industry. Our way of saying thanks was to write a song about each of them.
And yes, we know that the correct spelling is Radio Days but we wanted to make sure that people knew who and what we are by including the letters AI in both words ...
1. Once Was A Lawyer
Ross Stevenson is one of Australia's radio legends. He started off in community radio on the program Lawyers, Guns and Money on Melbourne's 3RRR. After a few years on Saturday mornings, he was offered the opportunity to present breakfast on 3AW. He's been there ever since.
But he once was a lawyer ...
2. Happy Birthday, Russel
Russel Howcroft is, apart from being Ross's on-air partner is a legend in the advertising industry. We first remember him being on The Gruen Transfer on ABC-TV and more recently, he has joined the 3AW Breakfast team.
This song was written for Russ's 60th birthday but tells his story as an ad man - in fact, he'll always be an ad man.
3. Patrick Behind The Glass
According to the man himself, Patrick is our biggest fan west of the border - the Victoria / South Australia border, that is. Patrick is based in Adelaide and is a producer on the very excellent 5AA breakfast program. As all radio producers know, it's the team behind the glass that makes the on-air talent sound good. We are delighted to have been able to pay this tribute to Patrick, representing all the "behind the glass" teams everywhere.
4. He Coodabeen Anything
Ian Cover is also another product of Melbourne's community radio scene. His program - the Coodabeen Champions used to proceed Ross's Lawyers, Guns and Money on 3RR back in the 80s. These days, Cove resides near Geelong and is known as the Oracle Of Barwon Heads. He has always been a great supporter and source of encouragement of Artie Fishall & The Intelligence. Nice one, Cove.
BONUS: The 2 Blokes Chatting Radio Show Theme
The 2 Blokes Chatting Radio Show is another Saturday morning community radio program, featuring Rob Cameron and Neil Butler. The 2 Blokes were the first people to commission the band to write a song - specifically, a program theme. We coined the program slogan - it's how Geelong spends Saturday morning, you know - which has been very well received around the town.
