Biography
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.

W.T.F. just bought the xenon codex and space bandits,forced myself to listen to them for a week ! not one memorable song both albums seem to be extensions of bits of songs they used to put in between there proper songs. loved everything up to church of hawkwind,but these albums sound like a band with no ideas and to the reason for posting this they've just released an album called onwards any point in buying it or is it the same as the afor-mentioned monstrosities ????? help please
