Alright, where the hell are they? Has ANYBODY received their ticket in the mail? The new FAQ on the Hawkfest site at hawkwind.com is conveniently devoid of any information about exactly when tickets will be mailed out. I wrote to the address (Kris' mum, I guess) from which I received the last email, asking about when they might be going out, and hoping that they would actually send it to where I currently am, as opposed to where I was over 3 months ago when I ordered the bloody thing (it hasn't arrived there either, so my Mum tells me), but I received no reply. Why don't they just NOT send out tickets in the mail, but rather just do a print-your-own barcode thingy through your online order form, and then just give you the commemorative ticket as a collector's item when you actually arrive and show your ID at the gate? (Since they don't seem to be able to get around to having them printed for MANY MONTHS.) You know, such technology must exist now to handle that, even for a bunch as incompetent as our friends at HW Mission Control. :) Yours cynically...Keith H.

This will have a unique invoice number which will prove you purchased a ticket. So as long as you are clutching that piece of paper as you walk through the gates all should be well!

Unfortunately Starshine is also fantastic so if your format lacks it you are handicapped. the end another wonderful piece of Hawk clothing for my soul.

Is Starshine on BOTE identical to Starshine on the 40th anniv. Memorial to Jason CD? That would make my decision about which version to buy simpler. I also liked Prometheus when they played it live at Hawkfest. Wraith was cool too, but was maybe just a bit too much Spacehead as opposed to Hawkwind. Ideally, Dibs' (co)authored tracks should sound at least a little like a "true" Hawkwind number in some way, whatever that may be.

Guess I will post something of potential relevance... Monster Magnet just came within 10 km of me here in Fribourg, CH (oddly enough, I saw them headline here in Fribourg proper some seven or so years ago), so my brother and I made the effort to go. It was a strange thing, as it was a medium-large 4-day rock and pop festival in an old Roman arena (part ruin, part modern construction) in what was the major Roman settlement of Aventicum (now French-Swiss town of Avenches). Status Quo were the headliners, and have a huge following here, so very few were there to see Monster Magnet. A bit too extreme for most oldtimers I guess. Anyway, when the band came out, I was wondering why Dave Wyndorf wasn't there, but just the four other guys, and some fat roadie dude checking out Dave's guitar. Then I finally realized that Dave Wyndorf is now a big fat dude. He looks absolutely terrible. Of course, he went through a long recovery from a major prescription drug overdose, but seriously....he's like 270 pounds now and has aged like 100 years. Poor guy. He also has about only 10% of the energy that he used to. So, with the crowd not really caring who these guys were, and the band having a sedentary-like frontman, the show was a little visually subdued. However, the music was good, although the soundman obviously didn't want us to clearly hear Ed Mundell's guitar solos. Best bit was the long version of The Right Stuff, preceded by the awesome "Radiation Day" from the FAR-underrated Monolithic Baby CD (which may even be my favourite MM album of all). Anyway, TRS started out with a minute or two of Sonic noises and such, and then the song proper, and then an extended jam of other riffs (something like Part two of Assassins of Allah) and sounds. All the usual Powertrip stuff closed out the set, which at least a few fans actually knew. Nice to see them again, and know that they are still recording, but I am afraid that the best of MM is already behind us, due to Dave's condition. I hope he gets himself back 'mean' and healthy again. Monster Magnet setlist (I think)...Avenches CH, 11 Aug. 2010 1. Dopes to Infinity (Dopes to Infinity) 2. Crop Circle (Powertrip) 3. Bored with Sorcery (Mastermind 2010) 4. Twin Earth (Superjudge) 5. Dig That Hole (Mastermind 2010) 6. Zodiac Baby ('acoustic') (Spine of God) 7. Radiation Day (Monolithic Baby) 8. The Right Stuff (Monolithic Baby) 9. Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Dopes to Infinity) 10. Spacelord (Powertrip) ---------------------------------- 11. Tractor (self-titled EP, later re-recorded for Powertrip) 12. Powertrip (Powertrip) nothing from last two studio albums, 4-way Diablo or God Says No Status Quo I know very little of, apart from Matchstick Men, which is apparently too cool and psychedelic for them to play anymore, 'cause all they did was their boogie rock stuff, apart from this one slow and really terrible song (that I don't know) called "In the Army Now," which amazingly seemed to be the most popular number of all with the crowd of maybe 5,000 by this point. I knew the tunes "Down the Dustpipe," "Mean Girl" seemed familiar, and the hit "Rockin' all over the World," plus some other song that starts out "Whatever you want..." but that was about it. But it doesn't really matter...all their songs are about the same sort of simple three-chord boogie blues that rip off Chuck Berry. I must admit...I rather liked the Rossi dude though...he can play guitar (and the soundman actually let us hear him clearly) and his voice isn't bad either (nasally, but in a good way), but the shorter dude (Parfitt) really doesn't contribute all that much. Overall they were OK, but I'll never understand why this band is such a big deal. They remind me of the Kinks. Well, and the Rolling Stones too. Music for people who are completely and utterly uncritical about the music they listen to. European Jimmy Buffett. ------------------------ Well, I still am not sure if I am to expect an actual ticket to Hawkfest in the mail. I will just have to hope that a printout of my order receipt will be good enough when the time comes to walk through the gate. I have decided to also go to both the Onboard the Craft fest (small, 250 people max.) featuring Alan Davey's band and Group X (Davey, Tree, Richards, Harvey, Thompson). And then I will go to London to see Gong with Steve Hillage with Nik's Lot (aka Space Ritual) as opener. So I get to see Hawkwind of three varieties on three consecutive weekends. (Or really four, if you count TOSH.) Should be interesting, if not entertaining. Of course, I expect the first weekend to be by far the best (in terms of Hawkwind output). Although I hope Dave gets his guitar sound 'fixed.' I didn't post this before, but at Herzberg, his guitar sound was completely terrible! Which was very sad, because everything else about that show and performance was great! The dancers were amazingly good, the lightshow was first-rate, the setlist was above average, and Dibsy was really on fire on bass. Plus, Tim is really integrated back into the band finally. A couple years back, he had no idea what to play on keys half the time, 'cause he didn't know all the music. However, Dave's guitar sound was ridiculously high-pitched, and washed out in some weird way. At the same time too loud but yet impossible to hear since it just disappeared into the white noise of the whole mix. Oddly, he is now playing a standard burgundy-colored Gibson SG, a guitar I had no idea he even owned. Which is a great stoner rock guitar, but obviously in combination with his own personal effects pedals and whatall, it simply was NOT WORKING. I hope he sorts this out before Hawkfest, or else someone kindly tells him his guitar sounds like shit. Anyway, should be a great festival with Here and Now, the Quimby's, and lots of other cool acts. Plus, ale! I hope. See you all there. After Gong/Nik, I will head back to Germany for two more concerts (Pothead in Karlsruhe, and Magma (woo!) in Wuerzburg), before finally having to head back to the states again for the winter at least. :( See you all on the road...

Glad to hear your ticket arrived in time! > So I got my travel plans set, including the other two HW-related events in Derbys. and London. In between, I am going to spend four days in Porthmadog, Wales. I would like to visit the Prisoner Village of Portmeirion natch, and then also do some nice walks in the Snowdon region. Anybody have any specific recommendations? I haven't lived in North-West Wales for over fifteen years (plus, I'm not much of a hiker; I got around mainly by bicycle), so take this advice with a pinch of salt... First off, the important stuff: record shops. :-) You should check out Cob Records, the local independent. They have a shop in Porthmadog and Bangor. If you like castles, you should make a point to visit Caernarfon and Conwy castles (in Caernarfon and Conwy respectively). There's also Beaumaris Castle on Anglesey, but it's a step down from the other two. You should visit Bangor, the university town of the region. It serves as the crossing point to the Isle of Anglesey: via the wonderful Telford suspension bridge and the Stephenson road/rail bridge. The Stephenson bridge carries the rail line and A55 to Holyhead (and thence via ferry to Northern Ireland), passing through the improbably-named Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, so you might want to stop by there just to have the obligatory photo of someone pointing at the railway sign with a bemused look on their face. :-) I remember Penmon Point on Anglesey as being a tranquil place. Let me know if the Liverpool Arms in Menai Bridge is still open. :-) As for nice walks, a good kicking off point is probably Llanberis in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. It is the start of the walk up Mt. Snowdon (highest mountain in Wales) for a start. When I lived in Gwynedd I remember the region being well-served by its bus service, and it was possible to get a regional bus pass on a daily, weekly, etc. basis. A nice trip to take in much of Snowdonia is to go Bangor -> Caernarfon -> Beddgelert -> Capel Curig -> Bangor (or ... -> Beddgelert -> Llanberis -> Caernarfon -> Bangor). The Betws-y-Coed area is nice, as is the slate mine at Blaenau Ffestiniog. (There is a narrow gauge railway from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog.) If you decide to visit Conwy, you might also want to drop in on the nearby Victorian resort town of Llandudno and the Great Orme. Finally, I recommend the walk to Aber Falls. Cheers, Paul. PS: I have visited Portmeirion; it is cool!

I'm here with my now fourteen yer old daughter, Shannon, so guess who gets to see Hawkwind for the first time (and with half of the rest of the UK psych scene too !). Course I might have to sneak behind a tent to enjoy a smoke, but such is parenthood haha Dunno if any of the Chaos Illumination folk are on here Neil ? Marie ? Keith B you out there ? I brought some gels and motors (it was fun bringing projectors over for HWF 2002 but in the end it seemed easier to just bring accessories and artwork) and maybe I can do a little contributiing and helping out on the light show front, particulary for the non HW acts (cos I figure you've got HW pretty well figured out by now haha). My lighting partner Eric Siegermann, who I hope many remember fondly from his own and our joint excursions for HW tours (who remembers the after-after party after the 2002 Christmas Astoria show at whatever that hotel was, that was partly his organisation, best memories ever, organising a party and HW come.......!!!!) couldn't come this time, ut sends his best and warmest regards If anyone wants to see what Eric and I get upto with our General Chaos visuals these days, then what with the advent of such things as utube and cheap video cameras theres actually some stuff out there, if u go to utube and put in 'General Chaos Visuals' or 'wavelength toronto' (the music series I/we've been doing for ten+ years then you'll see what HW can inspire people to do visually !) Oh a quick question, does anyone know which night HW are playing ? Sat or Sun ? we might ahve t ocut out earlier on Sun to catch our Mon flight from Manchester, but if HW are playing Sun night then we may have to figure out a midnight drive Looking forward to seeing all of youz tremendously, it feels like my 2nd family almost, after a bunch of shared adventures (and I don't like my real family all that much hahaha) wish I hadn't been out of the picture for so long, but a nasty divorce can apparently do that....

I thought _Monolithic Baby_ utterly stank, not a worthwhile note that I wanted to listen to twice on it (and I did listen to it twice, to make sure), but on the other hand, it is (unless I'm mad) more recent than _God Says No_, which I thought was quite good albeit far too much of it recorded by computers rather than band members. Have you perhaps got the two confused? Yours, > Jon (who, after _Monolithic Baby_, has been very unsure for some time whether he needs _4-Way Diablo_) Frankly, I thought MM were getting a bit hit-and-miss by the time they hit Powertrip! OK, yes, it's got what must have been their biggest hit ("Space Lord"), but ... well, DW's writing can be very cool, but just as with many other artists, I'm not entirely sure he generates enough quality stuff to carry whole albums, especially when the lineup keeps changing. As for Monolithic Baby, well, I enjoyed the "Unbroken" single for what it is, and the extended Right Stuff version (which may only have appeared in the video? I ripped the audio to iTunes, anyway.) I don't really recall whether 4-Way was better or worse. I have to admit that I'd started considering MM a largely spent force during or after the Powertrip era when the whole band lineup flip-flopped around like a speared fish. Whether or not DW has been spending more time in Denny's than the gym, I think he needs to get his musical world in order, if nothing else. Well, with the new album supposedly to be released in a few months, I guess we'll see whether or not that's already happened. I kind of feel like I did with Amorphis, around about the Am Universum and Far from the Sun albums: "OK, whatever, but this needs to be better if it's going to go on." Of course Amorphis then surprised me by actually reorganizing and reinventing themselves with their last three really quite excellent albums (Eclipse, Silent Waters, and Skyforger). So bands can do it, on occasion!

I thought this after Tab, although I forged ahead with a couple anyway.......never really seen a space-rock connection (or much of one) in them other than the public proclamations to loving Hawkwind. I would say 4-way is OK if this band is "your thing". Whether or not DW has been spending more time in Denny's than the gym, I > think he needs to get his musical world in order, if nothing else. Oh Dear God Denny's. I've had a lifelong terror of them weather warranted or not. But life has a funny way of making your worst fears manifest themselves and this happened with the one on my corner here. The food consistently terrible with the few times I braved it, but after a lady-friend and I ordered one day, it took the like 350-LB. waitress about 2 hours? to bring our food, and while we might have been a little noticeably "happy" that day, is that an excuse and we honestly wondered if our waitress was in the back eating our food......Now I will only go there for a 3am coffee emergency.....which happens....

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: The festival was great and very different. It was like a medieval fair and a craft fair and rock show all together. The bands were all great as were the sound and lights, excellent for all the acts. I only saw the show the first night as I missed my ride back to the festival yesterday and missed Taste and Status Quo. It was fun hanging around with the Hawkwind guys although Dave didn't remember when he toured with BOC. Wishbone Ash was great although I prefer Hawkwind's songs better. They played Spirit of the Age, Silver Machine and Hassan I Sabba but no Needle Gun. They had the cute young girls in strange outfits dancing and moving around onstage plus a light show which was very entertaining but it made me wish I had a splif to enjoy it all better.;-) Yesterday they said they will try harder to get us on the bill at Hawkfest but it just could have been the post gig lovefest talking.

Bizarrely, the one time I've seen some incarnation of Wishbone Ash was in 1993, opening for 3OC!

Yeah, I might not hold my breath too long! Not that the HW guys might not have genuinely meant it, with all the good intentions in the world, but HW is not famous for being incredibly organized, nor always doing what they say they will! ;) That would be cool though, if it worked out. :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/ From tim at KALYR.COM Mon Aug 23 15:49:33 2010 From: tim at KALYR.COM (Tim Hall) Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:49:33 +0100 Subject: LOST in France?

There are two rival incarnations, the Andy Powell one (the official owners of the name), and the Martin Turner one. Seen both of them this year; thought the Martin Turner version was by far the better of the two. The Andy Powell WA suffered from poor vocals, and the support band (Mostly Autumn) completely blew them off stage. > although I prefer Hawkwind's songs better.

Surprising piece of film. Huw's still there so the bassist must be either John Harrison or Thomas Crimble. I'm not honestly sure, and how would I know anyway. The festival the film is from seems to have been in the actual month Crimble replaced Harrison: cf. http://www.marmalade-skies.co.uk/mar1970.htm & http://www.discogs.com/artist/Thomas+Crimble though this one: http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/hawkwind/timeline.html reckons Crimble arrived in September not March, though agrees that he stayed eight months. In that case it would definitely be Harrison. And for my money, the guy in the video is not this guy: http://www.starfarer.net/it221070.html [Crimble at far left according to Starfarer] But does anyone actually *know*?
