Nik Turner started his rhythm and blues and jazz rock outfit Nik Turner's Fantastic Allstars in the late eighties. They eventually released an album Kubanno Kickasso! in 2001.

Dead Fred and Steve Pond went on to play with another ex-Hawkwind man Robert Calvert. Mick Stupp played with many different bands with varying styles, moving from drums to guitar over time.

The Imperial Pompadours were an ICU side project with legendary sleeve designer Barney Bubbles. Bubbles also produced the band's first three album covers.

In the 1980s original guitarist Judge Trev Thoms started a three-piece metal band named Atomgods which, for a while, also featured second ICU guitarist Steve Pond on bass.

Judge Trev Thoms died of pancreatic cancer on December 8, 2010.

Steve Pond, Dead Fred and Mick Stupp still play together in a band called Krankschaft, sometimes joined by Nik Turner and Dave Anderson to perform Inner City Unit songs as a tribute to Judge Trev Thoms.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:

    Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.
    Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)

    That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
