Claim: Mick Turner formed Venom P. Stinger in 1985, and their debut album was called Meet My Friend Venom.
Evidence: Previously he was a member of the Moodists (1983–84) and Venom P. Stinger. Fungus Brains released a self-titled album in 1986 but Turner had already left to form Venom P. Stinger in 1985, as an avant-rock group with former bandmate Mackenzie on lead vocals (ex-Sick Things, Brainshack), Alan Secher-Jensen on bass guitar (ex-Brainshack, Beachnuts) and Jim White on drums (ex-People with Chairs Up Their Noses, Feral Dinosaurs). Venom P. Stinger's debut album, Meet My Friend Venom, appeared in January 1987 via No Master's Voice.
