Nik Turner’s Hawkwind Announces US Tour with Witch Mountain and Hedersleben
Posted in Whathaveyou on June 13th, 2014 by JJ Koczan
I’m not going to claim to know the ins and outs of the dispute between Nik Turner and Dave Brock over the name Hawkwind or who’s got what right to call themselves Hawkwind at any point in time. What I do know is that if there’s a band called Hawkwind playing in your town on any night, then that’s probably the place you want to be. Turner, who also toured the States with his band last fall, is bringing his incarnation of the legendary space rock progenitors back for a coast-spanning run beginning in late August, starting on the West Coast and ending on the West Coast a month later, with plenty of stops and only three days off along the way. Ambitious to say the least.
Joining Turner and his cohorts will be Witch Mountain and Hedersleben, who are based in the Bay Area but have ties to Turner‘s band andBrainticket, among others in the prog/krautrock realm.
