Never seen 'em myself, but their records are lovely psychedelia.

you must be a fan of Hawkwind

I've played bass for Nik Turner on his last 2 U.S. tours, recorded with him, and will be recording and touring with Harvey Bainbridge later this year.

I'm a big fan of Hawkwind, especially their early stuff. :hi:

The "Space Ritual" lp(s) pretty much defines what Hawkwind is all about for me. My preferences are for the 1970-1975 era but I like much of the later stuff as well. I have special fondness for the 1995-2001 era when Ron Tree was their lead singer, best HW frontman since Robert Calvert. The "Distant Horizons" and "In Your Area" cd's have some supremely punkadelic moments. Attended their 30 year "Hawkestra" reunion show in London a few years back, entire "Space Ritual" lineup was present and I even got to meet Lemmy backstage after the show!!!

I like the early Hawkwind ...HASHISH HASHISH HASHISH
