Episode 10: Mike Turi - Repo Man (1984)

Artist and Musician Mike Turi joins SCF Hosts Tim Pyles and Graham Stevens at the Casbah San Diego to discuss the 1984 cult classic Repo Man on SoundCheck Flix episode 10. 

 

Mike Turi is an artist/musician living in San Diego and was born in the fine state of New Jersey. Frontman of the psych-rock outfit, Wild Wild Wets and purveyor of the San Diego Freak Out, an event put on at The Casbah for the past 10 Years. Mike has been submerged in art and music his whole life and what he creates comes out of an inspired force from within where it all converges and produces something for him that is unique yet familiar like an old friend.  The San Diego Freak Out is made possible with help from longtime friend/collaborator, Andrew McGranahan who also DJ's with Mike as the SDFO DJs spinning their brand of "World-Psych-Groove" all over southern California including the Desert Daze festival. He adds, "The San Diego Freak Out is also just a great mantra for our city. Come on San Diego, freak out!!"
