SPK - Metal Dance - The Tube 1983

SPK - Metal Dance, as performed live on the Tube November 4th 1983 Recorded by me on Sony Betamax L-750 video tape, Sony C6 MK1 VCR, mono audio. SPK were an industrial music and noise music group formed in 1978. They were fronted by Graeme Revell on keyboards and percussion. In 1980 the group travelled to the United Kingdom where they issued their debut album, Information Overload Unit. In 1983 Sinan Leong joined on lead vocals. The group disbanded in 1988. Two years later Revell and Leong relocated to the United States, where Revell works as a Hollywood film score composer. According to Australian rock music historian Ian McFarlane, SPK were “at the forefront of the local post-punk, electronic/experimental movement of the late 1970s ... [their] music progressed from discordant, industrial-strength metal noise to sophisticated and restrained dance-rock with strange attributes“. #spk #australianmusic #aussiemusic
