  • New Race was a punk/proto-punk super-group based in Sydney, Australia formed in April 1981. New Race was a concept band featuring three members of Radio Birdman: Deniz Tek, Rob Younger, and Warwick Gilbert, along with their inspirational mentors: Ron Asheton of The Stooges, and Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson of the MC5. New Race played one tour of the East Coast of Australia which consisted of 16 shows. Many of these shows were recorded in anticipation of a live album at the end of the tour, and it was these recordings which formed the band's only "official" album, The First and Last. There are two quality "bootleg" albums, also from these recordings, released on French label, Revenge Records. The three albums include Radio Birdman originals, songs from the MC5 and The Stooges as well as songs from Deniz Tek's post Birdman band, The Visitors and Asheton's post Stooges band, Destroy All Monsters along with one original song, "Columbia", credited to the entire band. At the conclusion of the tour both Ron Asheton and Dennis Thompson returned to the United States to pursue new musical avenues.
  • Supergroupe de l'underground rock formé en 1981 par des membres de Radio Birdman, Denis Tek (guitare), Rob Younger (chant) et Warwick Gilbert (basse), avec le concours occasionnel pendant la tournée de Chris Masuak (guitare) avec l'apport des légendaires Ron Asheton, guitariste des Stooges puis de Destroy all monsters et du batteur du MC5, Dennis Thompson. Le nom de ce groupe éphémère mais brûlant provenait d'une chanson des Radio Birdman sur l'album Radio appears et faisait écho à la précédente formation à laquelle appartenaient Asheton et Thompson, The New Order (qui n'a rien à voir avec leurs presque homonymes anglais). Les cinq musiciens se lancèrent dans une mémorable tournée de quatorze concerts à travers le continent australien, entassés dans un van avec leurs instruments, pour délivrer à chaque étape un rock sauvage faisant la part belle à des reprises des différents groupes auxquels avaient appartenu leurs membres. Trois albums live et deux 45 tours permirent d'immortaliser pour les générations futures, l'énergie de ces concerts donnés aux antipodes mais sans fioritures dans l'esprit des pionniers et aux sources du rock de Détroit.
  • I New Race furono un gruppo punk di Sydney, Australia, formatosi nell'aprile 1981, e scioltosi nello stesso anno. I New Race furono una specie di supergruppo formato da componenti dei Radio Birdman, degli Stooges e degli MC5 (Dennis Thompson). Il gruppo fece una tournée di 16 date nella costa est dell'Australia. La maggior parte di queste esibizioni furono registrate per produrre successivamente un album dal vivo alla conclusione del tour stesso. Queste registrazioni andranno quindi a comporre il disco The First and The Last. L'album è composto prettamente da pezzi dei Radio Birdman, ma comprende anche pezzi degli Stooges, degli MC5, dei The Visitors e dei Destroy All Monsters. Successivamente a questo album, ne verranno pubblicati anche altri due, sempre registrati dal vivo, e precisamente The First to Pay nel 1990 e Second Wave nel 1991, mentre The First and The Last verrà ristampato nel 1997. Alla conclusione del tour il gruppo si sciolse, ed i componenti proseguirono la carriera in diversi gruppi.
