Hawkwind
On Tour
3,153,986 plays (179,946 listeners)
Ladbroke Grove, England (1969 – present)
The band was formed in 1969 by visionary Dave Brock and although it has been subject to numerous line-up changes it is still led by him. The early line-up featured Dave Brock on vocals and rhythm guitar, Huw Lloyd-Langton on lead guitar, Terry Ollis on drums, Thomas Crimble on bass, Nik Turner on Saxophone and Dik Mik on synthesizer.
The band became established as a space-rock underground band with their renowned concert at the Glastonbury Rock Festival 1970 when they set up in an alternative field and played a free concert, pulling crowds away from the main event. Their debut album, the self titled ‘HAWKWIND’, was released by EMI and to this day still sells steadily. In 1970 they appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival where Jimi Hendrix was spotted in the audience. He was asked to get up and join the band and he replied ‘No I don’t want to spoil it!’ Huw Lloyd-Langton remained with them until late 1971.

sambosonoframbo I dig the idea, and gave them a good listen, but I got the feeling that their albums were just lacking good musicianship. I listened to "In Search of Space" and "Warrior on the Edge of Time". Is there something i'm missing, or a better album to start off with? Sorry I know im gonna come off sounding like an ass

Sosen Pink Floyd reminds me of Hawkwind. But just not QUITE worthy of licking their shoes. Because when I say "reminds me of", that always means "totally sucks compared to".

SpiritOfYetaxa They remind of early Pink Floyd. I like that. They even covered Cymbaline

hectorial85 I visited Ladbrooke Grove last week. I HAD to purchase a very old worn LP of X In Search Of Space just because I was there. Big smile on my face walking around thinking of Hawkwind's origins.
