Have you ever wondered what the weirdos behind your favorite records are doing when they’re not losing money in punk rock? Whether they are pushing pencils, tending bar or running corporations, we’re having sincere yet totally stupid conversations on how they’ve managed to make a living and advance their scams into careers (or something like it) among the squares. Join us as we aim to find out how punks pay their bills and what they’ve learned along the way. New episodes every Tuesday.

71 Deniz Tek - Doctor / Flight Surgeon / Coffee Farmer ( Radio Birdman / New Race / The Visitors )
In the pantheon of badassery in punk rock, no one has a lead on Deniz Tek. In addition to helping to bring Detroit-style rock ‘n roll to Australia and then to the world with Radio Birdman and playing with some of those Detroit legends in New Race, Deniz became an emergency room surgeon, then a navy pilot and flight surgeon and finally a Kona coffee farmer in Hawaii. We talk about it all, from his early years working at an auto plant in Michigan to his current music with James Williamson of the Stooges, an upcoming reissue of the New Race LP and how he’s still learning new things and taking on new challenges. Yeah hup!
