New Race

Conceived by [a=Angie Pepper], the New Race project was intended to be a one off project that introduced Deniz' Detroit music friends to Australia and vice versa. They toured Australia in 1981, and recorded a live album, The First and the Last (1982). The music was hard, fast rock and featured Detroit legends Ron Asheton ([a=The Stooges]) on guitar, Dennis Thompson ([a=MC5]) on the drums together with 3 ex [a=Radio Birdman] players, Deniz on guitar, Rob Younger on vocals and Warwick Gilbert on bass, with Chris Masuak guesting at some shows. They played a set of songs derived from The Stooges, MC5, Radio Birdman, the member's current bands and a song written jointly for the tour, Columbia. Miscommunications and financial troubles followed although most of the band members remain close friends.

Members: Deniz Tek, Rob Younger, Ron Asheton, Pip Hoyle, Dennis Tomich, Chris Masuak, and Warwick Gilbert
