Deniz Tek is a singer, guitarist and songwriter and a founding member of Australian group Radio Birdman who broke up, for the last time, after their last European tour in 2007. He has played in many of the underground punk bands of the 1970s including Australian bands The Visitors, New Race and The Passengers but is most known for exerting his burning Detroit style guitar influence over the punk rock genre in Australia. Tek's navy codename 'Iceman' was appropriated by visiting screenwriters for a character in the hit movie Top Gun.
Tek was raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. He spent 1967 in Sydney, Australia with his family and was greatly attracted to the Australian landscape, moving there permanently in 1972 to commence his medical studies at The University of NSW in Randwick. Living around many of the coastal Eastern Suburbs of Sydney in the early years of independent music in Australia influenced and fuelled his musical material and over thirty years later he continues to return to those seaside shores for rest and recouperation.
Deniz Tek is a trained ER doctor and navy pilot who currently splits his time working in ER departments in hospitals in NSW, Australia and Montana in the US while managing to fit in touring with a number of different Rock and Roll outfits when ever he gets a rare spare minute.
The title track "Bad Road" is a "Le Bonne Route" out-take, vetoed by Kent Steedman from appearing on the album because the drums were "too American". Both band and acoustic versions were recorded. Reaction to the EP was critical of the fact "Bad Road" is a ballad.

Bon ben encore un post magnifique pour ce bolg incroyable. Merci Rambler! A part ça, permettez moi une opinion perso, partagée d'ailleurs avec un autre blogger ici: je pense que Tek est le guitariste rock le plus sous-estimé depuis l'époque Radio Birdman. Sens du riff à tomber, soli courts et incisifs, son et style bien à lui, nombreux projets... D'ailleurs même une revue honorable comme Rock'n'Folk est assez peu disserte sur le rock australien et ses héros en général.. Et pourtant...!!
