Hunt Sales' first group was with brother Tony in Tony and the Tigers. They released the song "Turn it on Girl" which was a minor local hit in Detroit. Tony and the Tigers appeared on Hullabaloo in 1966 and also on the local Detroit/Windsor dance show, Swingin' Time with Robin Seymour.
In 1976, he played drums with the hard rock power trio Paris, formed by former Fleetwood Mac guitarist/songwriter Bob Welch. This trio (which included ex-Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick) was short lived, releasing two albums for Capitol Records. Hunt played and sang backup vocals on the second Paris LP, Big Towne, 2061.
In 1977 Hunt, along with brother Tony, provided the rhythm section for the Iggy Pop album Lust for Life. David Bowie's memories of their contribution to the recording led him to invite the pair to join Tin Machine in the late 1980s.[1]
Hunt Sales is the son of 1950s/60s television comedian Soupy Sales. As of November 2007, he resides in Austin, Texas, where he produces and does session work. He has two daughters; Cali Sales, born in 1990, and Sugar Sales, born in 2007.
