Hawkwind are an incredible band and are still going strong after 20
years on the road. Their 20th anniversary concert was held at the
Brixton Academy in London last summer and highlighted another shift in
the bands musical style, this time towards a more "mellow" mood.

A new album is expected soon, featuring Simon House's violin instead of
Lloyd Langton's guitar.

I had heard that they had toured the states last year and were releasing
a single for US consumption only. If anyone knows what the single was,
then please tell me!!

Hawkwind are only one of the new age/experimental/psychedelic bands that
are playing in England at the moment. Has anyone heard of: Ozric Tentacles,
Voodoo Child, The Magic Mushroom Band, The Here and Now Band, The Invisible
Opera Company of Thibet or Tubilah Dog. If not, check them out!
