DENIZ TEK in ANN ARBOR

Deniz Tek in my studio, 2010 and...

depicted above sporting an Iggy and The Stooges shirt presaging his appearance at the Tribute to Ron Asheton starring Iggy and The Stooges 4.19.11. Deniz, legendary guitarist of Australia's Radio Birdman in the genuine punk 1970s and beyond, was being interviewed for Ron Perry's filmed documentary on the entire span of the Detroit and Ann Arbor music world, "Detroit Rock Project," the day before the gig. Deniz is in fact an Ann Arbor native despite his still ongoing, peripatetic global performing schedule. For instance, you can find info of two new 2011 summer gigs Aug. 26th and 27th with the Godoy twins in NY and NJ at Retrokimmer's LINK, and more of my studio pix of Tek and the famed tattooed twins here LINK.

Take a gander at that movie star smile! He remains a genial and extremely photogenic soul (perhaps it's that military discipline from his Top Gun jet pilot days, as well as his doctorate in medicine,) even when he asserts his game face, seen below in his stint as guest artist at the Tribute to Ron Asheton in Ann Arbor MI 4.19.11. I'll let the photos at the Tribute speak for themselves.
