| Description : |
Described by Greasy Pop boss Doug Thomas as 'Eddie Cochran on dangerous chemicals' . First coming to the broader public's attention by winning a place on the Brewing mini album, organised by SA-FM in 1985 to highlight local talent with Not here (that's where I wanna be), the band had formed in 1984. In 1987, the Mad Turks first album release Caf © Istanbul, was the catalyst for a long term deal between Doug Thomas's Greasy Pop Records, which then became the Greasy Pop Record Company, and Festival Records to release three albums from the Mad Turks and three more from GPR's Exploding White Mice, enabling 'easier' national distribution.The original line up was Chuck Skatt (Charles Jenkins), Hank M Turk (Matthias Eckhardt) Martyn La Merde (Martyn Christopher) and Dom Benedictine III (Domenic Larizza). Hank M Turk left the band in 1989 with Dom Benedictine moving to guitar and Steve Caon joining on drums. In 1989 the band decided to relocate to Melbourne to try their luck and shortened their name to The Turks. Unfortunately the band only lasted a year and by 1992 the band had evolved into The Icecream Hands who continue to record and perform. Jenkins has also released a number of solo albums. Discography |
