Kike Turmix - Q' Descanse En Paz


There was only a few days between hearing that this Grand Wizard of Spanish R'n'R was suffering from liver cancer and hearing that he had passed on. Probably best known for his band The Pleasure Fuckers, Kike was a tireless supporter of the Spanish and European underground rock scene. He was a promotor, ran a label (Safety Pin Records), and was a general scene presence- especially in the bars. There's a long thread of anecdotes and memorials here (all in spanish). Here's a small photo album with some very old photos and a few from his funeral. There's a much larger photo album at Murusheena.com where I stole the above photo. So here's some of my favorite Pleasure Fuckers tunes. Raise your glass to this mighty Spanish 'Supper Star' and get ripped to the tits.

Pink House Club
Super Real Fuck
That Magic Kiss
