Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hawkwind pioneered the 'space rock' subgenre and provided the sonic template for countless stoner/doom bands. Their 1972 tour featured elaborate sci-fi stage shows with dancers and light projections.
Lemmy was fired from Hawkwind in 1975 after being arrested for amphetamine possession at the Canadian border, which directly led to him forming Motörhead.
