"Punkadelic acid rockers"? Musically defying all description, Inner City Unit remains one of the most unique offshots to the Hawkwind family tree. Founded by Hawkwind's Nik Turner, ICU combined the talents of Dead Fred Reeves on keyboards, Judge Trev Thoms on guitar, and Dino Ferari on drums, the latter two previously with Steve Took's bands. ICU took a hiatus while Reeves and Turner returned to Hawkwind, then reformed in the early 80s with Steve Pond on guitar and Micky Stupp on drums. Both Pond and Reeves supported Robert Calvert during the singers live shows in the mid 80s.
