Description
This has been lurking in the back of my mind for many years and now I think it is time.
I'm looking for a guitarist, bassist, and drummer to form a Hawkwind honor band. What is an honor band, you might ask? Well, it is like a tribute band but no one needs to look like the actual persons in the band. I play guitar and synthesizer and would be mostly playing synth but adding guitar in places where the music seems to come down from outer space.
Why Hawkwind, and only Hawkwind? The answer to that is quite easy. Hawkwind's music, while perhaps not well known, is basically hard rock set in outer space. The structures are easily replicated, the songs are driving, and it is extremely danceable. Also, their stuff is very jam-oriented.
As lots of Hawkwind music has multiple vocalists, vocal ability would be preferable. I'd like to keep this down initially to four musicians but if by some miracle I get a lot of interest I would be open to making it five. Sax/flute or another synth player would be cool but I am not holding my breath.
Songs I'd like to initially consider would be:
Space is Deep
Silver Machine
Master of the Universe
Born to Go
Angels of Death
Orgone Accumulator
Spirit of the Age
Time We Left This World Today
You Know You're Only Dreaming
Fable of a Failed Race
