Hawkwind

After playing for a few years around the British circuit (including many free and benefit gigs) Hawkwind made the Top 20 with their single Silver Machine.

Their albums were barely coherent celebrations of acid, space flight, time travel, Marvel comics and UFO culture, while their live shows were loud, raucous assaults that made full use of electronically generated sounds, pre-recorded tapes, light shows, and of course Stacia - their amply-endowed stripper.

When bass player Lemmy was sacked from Hawkwind while in prison in Canada on drugs charges, he went on to form Motörhead.

According to Lemmy the name 'Hawkwind' came about as a result of Nick Turner's unusually large nose and recurring flatulence problems.
