Yeah,

Hawkwind are/were an English band who were most active in the early
70's.  They were particularly notable for their light show, their
outrageous road crew, and a lady called Statia who was nominally part of
the band and tended to take off her clothes on stage (this was before
sexism existed).  Their music was pretty good too.

Hawkwind's records are still widely available here in England (in fact,
a band of that name still tours, but personnel changes have made them
almost unrecognisable).  They had one hit single, "Silver Machine"
(1972) and I have a particularly excellent (if scratchy) live recording
of this, in which neither of the vocalists seems to be able to hear the
other.

Hawkwind's most famous son, Lemmy, has now gone on to (greater ?) things
as lead singer of Motorhead.
