Detroit’s punk doctor, Deniz Tek took the motor city sound to Sydney as a medical student, spawned Australian alterno-rock with Radio Birdman in 1974, and then joined the USAF and inspired the character Iceman in Top Gun. Today, he divides his time between emergency wards and electric guitars.
Detroit is a lament for his decaying home, serious enough to sustain potentially overwrought big rock gestures, its mournful harmonica blasts, Stooges proto-punk power-surges, Stones style choppy riffs, and midnight bar band solos ennobled by Tek’s clinical reportage.
