“What would happen if you woke up tomorrow morning, The Hacienda was open as usual, Sankeys Soap was still thriving, and the sweat was still pouring down the walls at The Thunderdome? What if a load of experienced musicians and characters got together to make a KLF like collaboration with no knowledge of where this will take them? Well Manchester and the rest of the world, enter the realms of Rikki Turner and co. It’s gonna blow your mind…” Wayne Carey Louder Than War
San Pedro Collective
San Pedro Collective started June 2018. Brain child of Rikki Turner who is a man of some pedigree having fronted the legendary Paris Angels and The Hurt. Suddi Raval, legendary producer, DJ and author of A Brief History of Acid House. Joined by vocalist Millie Macbean and The Fall drummer Simon Wolstencroft. (Dec 2018)
The trio worked on an EP from June with Raval taking all programming duties and Turner taking writing duties. Millie added her distinct but beautiful vox which led to the release of The Demon Sessions (Blindside Records) July of 2019.
Fast Forward to Feb 2019 Keith Higgins, Justin Lenard, and Nature of Wire vocalist Sarah Bouchier became involved and the family was complete. Jan 2020 The Collective release ‘Where do I begin’ achieving worldwide airplay and more brilliant reviews and The collective were joined by John D Jinndow (Australia) to work his original Art covers and Videos.
