SPK
SPK, formed in 1978 in Sydney, Australia, was a 1980s and early 1990s industrial music and noise music act. The group was formed when Revell (aka Operator) met up with Neil Hill (aka Ne/H/il). They were both working at a psychiatric hospital when they became inspired by the manifesto of the German radical Marxist group known as the Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv (SPK). William S. Burroughs the American writer was a huge fan and supporter of SPK; the picture right shows the band with Burroughs at his home in Lawrence, Kansas in 1982. From left to right: Graeme Revell, Karel vanBergan, William S. Burroughs (uncle Bill), Dominik Guerin, and James Pinker
