Bio
.. SPK was the name the group took from a group of mental patients in West Germany who, inspired by the Baader-Meinhof group set up their own terrorist cell with a "SLOGUN" Kill Kill Kill For Inner Peace and Mental Health. Unfortunately this group blew themselves up whilst trying to make and hide bombs in their Mental Hospital. SPK was originally 4 people in Sydney, Australia. They released two singles on their own SPK label and pressed 200 copies of each. They sent copies to Industrial Records who liked them so much they offered to re-release their favourite two tracks again. By this time SPK had only two members left, one a certified schizophrenic, a patient in mental hospitals, the other a certified mental nurse who works in mental hospitals! Since this record was made the schizo-member has left the group. SPK is now one person who is alive and cynical in Paris...... .... .... Take a moment to visit: ..
