Hawkwind was the seminal British 1970s acid-rock / UK Underground band. Along with the Pink Fairies they were key community bands in Ladbroke Grove home of the Mountain Grill cafe. Their music is fundamentally driving psychedelic rock, cosmic orchestral pieces & even some humorous dance music. Their music usually deals with urban & science fiction themes & in many ways they were the inventors of Space rock. Formed in the summer of 1969 as Hawkwind Zoo, they were offered a record deal by Liberty Records in November of that year & immediately shortened the band name to Hawkwind. Their live performances quickly gathered them a cult following, partly because they were seen as a community Of the People - For the People group. Their second album In Search of Space was very successful. During the early 1970s Hawkwind played a number of benefit gigs along with other community bands/artists including The Pink Fairies & Steve Took who, as a key member of the UK Underground went on to work with a number of Hawkwind members.
