Meet My Friend Venom

Originally released on LP in 1986 on No Master's Voice. Years before Mick Turner and Jim White teamed up with violinist Warren Ellis to become instrumental post-rock trio Dirty Three, the pair of Australian musicians punked it up in their '80s project Venom P. Stinger. Venom P. Stinger's hardcore punk sound was driven by Turner's 'burnt-and-twisted guitar tone.' White was on drums, Alan Secher-Jensen handled bass duties, and vocalist Dugald McKenzie shouted out lyrics 'conveying the awful qualities of life.'
