A FOREFATHER OF SEVENTIES UK PUNK DRUMMING -- PLAYING FAST IN '72-'73.

^NOTE: Listen to the speed of the drumming on "Brainstorm" (1972) and don't tell me all the UK punks weren't emulating a similar sound in 1976-'77. SK was playing fast in '72!

PIC INFO: Spotlight on shots of heavy metal-space punk drumming powerhouse Simon King (age 22-23 here) captured in a 1973 HAWKWIND rehearsal with the companion bass drumhead in the foreground. 📸: Barrie Wentzell

Space Ritual at 50

Space Ritual at 50

Often touted (at least by Hawkfans!) as the best live album ever, Space Ritual is 50 years old. Of course that means another reissue and remix. If you want to splash £99 with Cherry Red Records, you can get the 10 CD/1 BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION 11 DISC BOX SET. AFAIK it has mixes of every complete recording the band made on the tour. I may look at the 2-CD version for a more accessible (to me)…

Hawkwind Co-founder Mick Slattery Dies at 77

Mick Slattery, a co-founding member of Hawkwind, died March 17 “after a short illness,” Dave Brock said in a statement.

The guitarist was 77.

Slattery and Brock formed Famous Cure in 1967 before splitting off to create Hawkwind in ’69.

“In the late ’60s, we used to rehearse in my upstairs flat … playing loud music, much to the annoyance of our neighbors,” Brock said. “Fly free, old friend.”

Though he left Hawkwind almost immediately after appearing on one album, Slattery would go on to work with fellow alumni in bands such as Space Ritual with Nik Turner - who died last year - and Hawkestrel, with whom Slattery has been recording.

“I loved his playing and was planning to ask him to do more soon,” bandleader Alan Davey said.

“He was a jolly friendly chap and so down to earth. Gonna miss ya, Mick, R.I.P.”
