Inner City Unit (ICU) is a British Punk/hard edged Space rock band fronted by ex-Hawkwind founder Nik Turner on saxophone with Trev Thoms (guitar), Dead Fred (Keyboards), Baz Magneto (Bass), and Mick Stupp or Dino Ferari on drums.
Thoms & Ferrari were both key members of Steve Peregrin Took's band Steve Took's Horns. Took continued to work with his former band members by guesting with ICU at a couple of gigs. This original line-up produced 2 albums, Passout and The Maximum Effect. A compilation of out-takes and demos Punkadelic was released during the same time. In 1982 Turner returned to Hawkwind taking Dead Fred with him, this marked the end of ICU Mk1.
