We don't know if it had something to do with their musical preferences (noise and industrial rock), but fact is that the two founders of SPK (both from Sydney) worked in a mental hospital.There they were introduced to the ideas of a radical Marxist group from Germany, the Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv, abbreviated SPK and since 1973 also known as Patientenfront. The ideas of the Patientenfront apparently appealed to the imagination.

Years ago, I had heard that an alternate explanation was “Surgical Penis Klinik”, very industrial, very Teutonic. If it referred to gender reasignment, I have no idea. Mid-80’s they morphed into a more approachable synth pop/dance sort of thing, like ZTT’s Propaganda.
Do you know a different explanation? Were you there when it happened? Post a comment! >>
