HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENIZ TEK!


Deniz Tek

Deniz is in Australia and their time is ahead so though this story is November 9 here is is the 10th there... Thanks to Mark Sisto for the assist tonight!

My tribute to The Only and Only Deniz Tek!



Happy Birthday to my pal Deniz Tek. What a guy and and I ever happy to have met him. We have worked together going on 2 years now and what an experience... What a musical education along with all the very exciting stories he tells me about life as a Navy Flight Surgeon and more.... Deniz just finished an art showing at Hand Of Law Gallery and sat in with his great friend Penny Ikinger too. For now I am sharing some videos of Deniz that I had a lot to do with getting produced...

This little video is from my first meeting with Deniz at a rehearsal studio/warehouse in Ann Arbor and what a lucky girl to be sitting in a chair with my camera! Al King on Drums/Chris Taylor Bass/ Scott Morgan guitar and vocals/Deniz Tek...



Eric Pouille (Holy Curse) singing "New Race" impromptu at The Blind Pig... Al King/Chris Taylor/Scott Morgan and Deniz Tek back to camera....



Deniz, his brother Karl, and Eric Pouille went to film this clip about Denniz "Machinegun Thompson" at Madonna University with Dan Boyd.



Deniz Tek...best known as the guitarist, main songwriter, and leader of Aussie Stooges-disciples Radio Birdman, Deniz Tek is originally from Ann Arbor, MI. Inspired by such local heroes as the MC5 and the aforementioned Stooges during the '60s, Tek decided to form his own high-energy rock outfit, patterned after both bands, upon arriving in Australia in 1971 (to study medicine at the University of New South Wales).

Happy Birthday Deniz with much love from KIMMER

Happy Birthday, Deniz. I must have sensed it because earlier today I listened to Radio Birdman's 'Ritualism' in the car
