Rowan Roebig released a couple of solo albums before his Riflebirds gig unfolded. There were no accompanying live shows, but things changed towards the completion of his second album and the formation of a band.
Though early gigs went under Rowan’s name, it soon felt too much like a band to ignore. What the collective minds came up with is the album Detours & Collisions, recorded at Northcote’s Soundpark Studios by Andrew ‘Idge’ Hehir (Paul Kelly, Darling Downs). According to their website, they’ll be returning to the studio in 2016. John Kenyon, Rod Collins, Bon Krunic, Damien Toussaint and John Crocker complete the band.
