WILD TURKEY
Formed in 1988, the band sprung out of Sherbrooke Community School, also the venue for Wild Turkey's first official gig (the band was briefly called 'The Deviates'). The lineup for that first show on the 20th of August 1988 was John on guitar and vocals, Matt Walker on lead guitar, Matthew Ralph on bass, and Chris Latham on drums. After having many drummers (including Fred Strauks from Skyhooks, a teacher at Sherbrooke who played a couple of gigs for us), we finally met Kirk in 1990 and at that stage; Wild Turkey started performing in Melbourne Venues. After the release of the Cassette; 'Wild Turkey Vol.1' in 1991, Matt Ralph left the band. The Late Andrew Wilkie played with us until we recruited Phil Smith mid 1992. 'I Drove All Day' - the debut C.D. was launched at the Punters Club in Fitzroy. Our guest bands on the night were 'Chairoscuro' (Andrew Wilkie's band), and the 'Runaway Boys' who went on to become 'The Living End' around this time! The M.C. for the night was Hugo Armstrong from 3PBS FM. In 1994 the first recording sessions for 'Love That Kills' began. Matt Walker left the band to further his solo career and Wild Turkey became a three-piece outfit! In 1995 Phil Smith left the band and Paul Mileham became the new bassist. Paul left in 1996 and Guy Lawson joined the band bringing the new dimension of the Double Bass to Wild Turkey. The album 'Love That Kills' was finished and released in 1997 at The Esplanade Hotel in St. Kilda - guest bands were 'Oozin Blues' and 'The Exotics'. From band website
