Inner City Unit Biography
Inner City Unit was created by former Hawkwind member Nik Turner following his departure from the band in 1977. In early 1979, prior to his forming his new band, Nik had recorded one solo album. The original line up for Inner City Unit included Nik Turner, Dead Fred, Trev (Judge) Thoms, Mo Vicarage and Dino Ferrari. Following rehearsals, the band played many festivals although they performed at the Glastonbury Festival under the name Sphinx. After Glastonbury, the band played Stonehenge and then embarked on a series of UK club dates, before recording a first single entitled ‘Solitary Ashtray’. In late 1980, Inner City Unit turned down a major deal and opted to continue with its own label releasing the debut album ‘Passout’ recorded in just three days.
Nik Turner still occasionally performs under the name Inner City Unit, but most of the time leads the band , Space Ritual, which is made up of former members of Hawkwind.
