Biography
Venom P. Stinger, the Melbourne band, delivered its first album Meet My Friend Venom in January 1987 while presenting unconventional avant-garde material to enthusiastic concert crowds. The entirely uncompromising and uncommercial record was succeeded in July 1988 by the equally uncompromising single "Walking About"/"26 Milligrams." Guitarist Mick Turner departed to revive Fungus Brains and complete their 1989 album I'm So Glad, yet Turner, bassist Alan Secher-Jensen, drummer Jim White, and newly recruited singer Nick Palmer reassembled Venom P. Stinger during 1991.
What's Yours Is Mine, the band's second album, appeared in October 1990, with the four-track EP Waiting Room following in November 1991. After touring the U.S., the group issued the live album Live (In Davis, CA) in 1992. Late that year Turner and White launched Dirty Three alongside violinist Warren Ellis, while White and Ellis also toured and recorded with the Blackeyed Susans. Although Secher-Jensen formed Come the Rubber Pig, Venom P. Stinger reconvened at the close of 1993 and released the single "Thick-skin"/"Tearbucketer" in August 1994 before issuing their final album, Tear Bucket.
