Person properties

General info :
Derek Thompson (born in London, England, UK) is a musician, producer and composer from the UK.

His first major musical background through the late 1970s and 1980s was with avant-garde industrialists SPK, and he played a variety of instruments including bass, keyboards and the trumpet. He departed after founder member Graeme Revell took the group to what Thompson felt was too commercial of a direction. After leaving SPK, Thompson had done a very brief stint with the Cure (a position he got after apparently meeting Robert Smith in a bar who apparently asked him what colour was his bass guitar and Derek replied 'Black').[3] He only played one show with The Cure, which was The Oxford Road Show in April, 1983. He would later join Jeffrey Lee Pierce's band The Gun Club as a touring guitarist around 1985.

He later performed as Hoodlum Priest, one of the musical projects he explored during the 1990s, where he wanted to draw in both film influences on his work—primarily via dialogue but also musically—and hip-hop by recruiting a London-based MC.
