By BUNNEY LUNAM
An anthem for a good night’s sleep, with an earworm hook straight from the bird’s beak.
A comforting, joyous ditty about connection to other beings and the natural world.

Kurraka is the Kaurna (pronounced garr-na) name for the ubiquitous black and white dinosaur known commonly as the Australian magpie, a bird that is peerless in its songmaking. We were born and have lived on Kaurna Country, surrounded by many Kaurna language names. It is a joy to have a word for the complex creatures that share our suburban Adelaide garden.

Andy Bunney – lead vocals, resonator guitar & cajon
Chris Lunam – banjo, bass guitar & backing vocals
Magnus / Agnes Kurraka – carolling vocals
Written by Andrew Bunney & Christine Lunam
Produced and mastered by Mike Polaroid
Cover art Carlo – crunchyfrogdesign

Inspired by Magnus / Agnes our transgender (perhaps more about our false assumptions) magpie / piping shrike / Gymnorhina (Cractucus?) tibicen / emblem of South Australia singing this same, simple refrain (as recorded) every 15 seconds from 2 until dawn for weeks. With love from Chris & Andy

Voice, guitar and banjo recorded live on Zoom Q3

KURRAKA (Songbird In The Night)

International Rescue were a power-pop band that played a mix of originals and covers around Adelaide in the early 1980s. They had an exuberant DIY, hedonistic and hopeful attitude. They made no records but were recorded live-to-air from 5MMM Magill Rd in 1983. Members of International Rescue went on to play in Adelaide bands including Exploding White Mice, The Coneheads, TV Dinners, The Haggards, Lost Weekend, Ramonettes, Funnyboys and Puppet Show.

On the very first night of Three D Radio’s Monday night community sing-a-long ‘Hillbilly Hoot’, Pancho Durango & his 12-string guitar appeared out of nowhere and helped set the tone. Some say he came to Adelaide as a Zapatista refugee from the hills of Chiapas only to return to die in a desert down in Mexico in 2010. Really, there ain’t nobody knows. Only a few tapes of his performances remain.
