[[Hawkwind]] were one of the first space[[Space rockRock]] bands, formed in 1969 and [[Long Runner|still going strong today]]. Started out as Group X, later Hawkwind Zoo, before recording under their current name; also known as Hawklords for a brief period in the late 1970s.
 
While their style is at heart a combination of [[Psychedelic Rock]] and [[Progressive Rock]] with bits of electronic music via [[Kraut Rock]], they have also been referred to as "proto-punk" because of their occasional [[Three Chords and Thethe Truth]] moment and aggressive performances.
 
But you probably know them as "that band [[Motorhead (Music)|Lemmy]] was in before forming [[Motorhead (Music)|Motorhead]]".
 
They've had an insane amount of members over the course of their career. The more notable ones would be:
Line 10:
* Robert Calvert, lead singer/frontman and poet between 1972-1979.
* Simon House, violin.
* Lemmy Kilmister, the guy who got fired for "doing the wrong drugs" and started [[Motorhead (Music)|Motorhead]] instead.
* [[Michael Moorcock]], guitar and vocals, better-known as a science fiction and fantasy author, and especially as the author of [[The Elric Saga]].
* Nik Turner, saxophone, alleged inventor of the band's name. No longer on speaking terms with Brock.
* Ginger Baker, drums. Formerly with supergroup [[Cream (Music)|Cream]] and something of a coup for Hawkwind, he lasted for one tour and two LP's. Allegedly his vast ego was hard to contain, he still wanted supergroup pay and perks, and saw Hawkwind as his band rather than himself as Hawkwind's drummer. Clashed with the autocratic Brock and walked out/was sacked. Allegedly.
