New Race

About

Conceived by Angie Pepper, the New Race project was intended to be a one off project that introduced Deniz' Detroit music friends to Australia and vice versa.


They toured Australia in 1981, and recorded a live album, "The First and the Last" (1982). The line-up featured Detroit legends Ron Asheton (The Stooges) on guitar, Dennis Thompson (MC5) on the drums together with 3 ex Radio Birdman players, Deniz on guitar, Rob Younger on vocals and Warwick Gilbert on bass, with Chris Masuak guesting at some shows. They played a set of songs derived from The Stooges, MC5, Radio Birdman, the member's current bands and a song written jointly for the tour, "Columbia".

Miscommunications and financial troubles followed although most of the band members remained close friends.
