Hawkwind's 40-year space trip

Hawkwind celebrate 40 years of rock

It's one of the hottest days of summer, and the sound of space rock is throbbing across the Devon countryside.

In a converted farm building, veteran rockers Hawkwind are rehearsing for a string of summer festival dates and two special gigs to mark the band's 40th anniversary.

Space rock music is our niche. It's repetitive, relentless riffs with oscillators going up and down. Dave Brock

They are led by "captain of the ship" Dave Brock - the only original member from 1969.

Today he's in a straw hat, flip-flops and striped trousers, happily tinkering with his guitar and the banks of synthesizers around him.

With him in the sweltering studio are keyboardist Tim Blake (who first joined the band in 1979), drummer Richard Chadwick (who joined in 1988), and relative newcomers bassist Mr Dibs and guitarist Niall Hone.

The Hawkwind studio - a former milking shed - is crammed with memorabilia from the band's four decades: old tour posters, gig tickets and ancient audio generators from the pioneering days of space rock.

There's even a train set in the corner.

Astounding sounds

One of the world's longest-running bands, Hawkwind have undergone countless changes of personnel and musical styles.

Along the way there have been astounding stage spectacles - including the Space Ritual shows - legal battles, bust-ups, reunions, and the untimely deaths of several members.

Former members and collaborators include Motorhead's Lemmy, science fiction writer Michael Moorcook, and ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker.

Hawkwind are to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut gig - played at the All Saints Hall in London's Notting Hill - by performing in two all-day events at the end of this month.

But how much does founder member Dave Brock recall of that first gig on 29 August 1969?

In search of space: Early 70s Hawkwind with Dave Brock (on far right)

"I can't really say that I remember that much, except going on stage and the strobe was going, and we played and everybody was out of it," says Brock, who got Hawkwind together while earning a living as a busker in London.

"It was the end of flower power. We were called Group X at the time. The place itself wasn't very big, it was like a village hall with a wooden stage at the end.

"They had a lightshow with big blobs on the walls, people were in there taking drugs and jumping around and enjoying themselves. And that was the regular happening every week at this place.

"All these characters used to play free - and do 'happenings' - it was a free and easy atmosphere round Ladbroke Grove."

London scene

Another band member who was at that first gig is current keyboardist Tim Blake.

Blake was in charge of the sound desk at the All Saints Hall that night in the summer of '69. A band called High Tide were headlining the weekly band night. A week earlier David Bowie had been on the bill.

"I was setting my sound system up," recalls Blake, "when three individuals arrived and said they'd got this group that was forming and they were desperately looking to play somewhere.

"I knew we didn't have a support act for High Tide so I just took the liberty of saying that's a good idea... and of course what happened, happened.

"Stickers saying 'Hawkwind lives' started appearing all over the London Underground - then The Roundhouse gigs [in Chalk Farm] started quite quickly and there became a London scene."

Blake, who was 17 at the time, later went to France and played with psychedelic band Gong. He did not join Hawkwind until the late 70s.

Group X quickly became Hawkwind Zoo and then Hawkwind, though the original line-up of Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Mick Slattery, John Harrison, Dik Mik and Terry Ollis didn't stay unchanged for long.

The rapid turnover of the band's personnel was to continue throughout the next four decades resulting in some 50 different members - including a statuesque dancer called Stacia.

Some ex-members from those early days have gone on to form their own space rock bands - still active today.

Ship's captain

HAWKWIND'S VARIED CREW TV presenter Matthew Wright (pictured) is a fan and has performed and recorded with the band Bassist Lemmy sang on hit single Silver Machine, but was sacked in 1975 and went on to form Motorhead Bridget Wishart (1989-91) was the band's only female lead vocalist But former topless model Sam Fox appeared as guest vocalist at Hawkwind's 30th anniversary gig Sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock has collaborated with the band over several decades Ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker played on 1980's Levitation LP Arthur Brown sang on 2005 album Take Me to Your Leader

"A lot of different members come and go and come back," reflects Dave Brock later as we discuss the history of the band in the garden outside the studio.

"Space rock music is our niche. It's repetitive, relentless riffs with oscillators going up and down. We did a lot of weird stuff, we used to experiment with tape loops, train noises and then play a bit of guitar over the top.

"I think Mike Moorcock summed it up when he said we treated our instruments and music like barbarians."

But what's it been like being the one constant member of the band over such a long period?

"It's incredibly difficult," says Brock. "You're the captain of the ship. In the early days - when you had bad weeks - there was someone else to take over. Bob Calvert [singer/songwriter from the 70s] was always really good.

"But to actually run the band and make sure it's going in the right direction, you do get disliked."

Welcome to the future

Hawkwind 2009: (l-r) Tim Blake, Niall Hone, Dave Brock, Mr Dibs, Richard Chadwick

Meanwhile, the spaceship Hawkwind looks set to continue its voyage, branching out into "Hawkwind Holidays" - where fans get to relax with the band abroad.

Tim Masters gets the lowdown from Hawkwind manager Kris Tait about a line of 'Hawkwind holidays'.

And recording is under way for the as-yet-untitled 25th Hawkwind studio album, due for release in 2010.

Expect the space rock themes to continue: new songs include Prometheus, Wraith and Sentinel.

"It's all still there," says Brock. "Space and politics and love."

"And some peace," adds Tim Blake.

The anniversary events will include some ex-members, but are as much about looking to the future, says Brock.

"It's a forward-thinking thing. We don't want to dwell on the past," he says.

Bassist Mr Dibs observes: "The travellers come and go - they get on the ship, they leave the ship."

But how long will the ship keep on going?

Dibs points at Brock: "It'll go on as long as he can."

"There are times," says Dave Brock, shaking his head and smiling. "There are times..."

At which point Hawkwind return to the studio barn, and a sonic attack of synths once again wafts across planet Earth.

Hawkwind's anniversary shows at the Porchester Hall in Notting Hill, London, are on 28 and 29 August. The band's 40th anniversary tour takes place throughout December.

Alvino Rey Connection - The Army Air Corps + Disney's Casey Jones (Sonophone) + Andy Russell - Enamorado + Vince Salerno - The Bat

The Army Air Corps
written by Capt. Robert Crawford
performed by
Alvino Rey & His Orchestra
Bill Schallen with The King Sisters, vocals
recorded 27 January 1942

originally issued in 1942 as Bluebird B-11476 issued here on V-Disc No.6B, circa 1943

All gave some and some gave all

. . .

it is to you that this video is dedicated!

In 1937, Army Air Corps second-in-command Hap Arnold persuaded his superior, Oscar Westover, that airmen needed a song reflecting their unique identity, and proposed a song competition with a prize to the winner. However, the Air Corps had no control over its budget, and could not give a prize. Liberty magazine stepped in, offering a purse of $1,000 to the winner.

Around 757 compositions were entered, and evaluated by a volunteer committee chaired by Mildred Yount, the wife of a senior Air Corps officer, and also featuring several distinguished musicians. The committee had until July 1939 to make a final choice. However, word eventually spread that the committee found no songs that satisfied them, despite the massive number of entries. Arnold, who took over command of the Air Corps in 1938 after Westover was killed in a plane crash, solicited direct inquiries from contestants, including Irving Berlin, but not even Berlin's creations proved satisfactory. Just before the deadline, Capt. Robert Crawford entered his song, which proved to be a unanimous winner.

The V-Disc project actually began in June 1941, six months before the United States' involvement in World War II, when Captain Howard Bronson was assigned to the Army's Recreation and Welfare Section as a musical advisor. Bronson suggested the troops might appreciate a series of records featuring military band music, inspirational records that could motivate soldiers and improve morale.

Meanwhile, the American Federation of Musicians, under the leadership of James Caesar Petrillo, were involved in a major recording strike against the four major record companies. This continued until the intervention of recording pioneer George Robert Vincent, who was at that point a lieutenant. On October 27, 1943, Vincent convinced Petrillo to allow his union musicians to record sides for the military, as long as the records were not offered for purchase in the United States. From that moment on, artists who wanted to record now had an outlet for their productivity - as well as a guaranteed, receptive, enthusiastic worldwide audience of soldiers, sailors and airmen.

The V-Discs were an instant hit overseas. Soldiers who were tired of hearing the same old recordings were treated to new and special releases from the top bands of the day. And such a varied selection - big band hits, some swing music, classical performances from the top symphonies, a little jazz here and there, even some marching music to keep Major Bronson happy.

V-Discs stayed in production until 1949, providing entertainment to soldiers stationed overseas as part of the Marshall Plan.

After the V-Disc program ended in 1949, the Armed Services set out to honor the original AFM request that the records not be used for commercial purposes. Original masters and stampers were destroyed. Leftover V-Discs at bases and on ships were discarded. On some occasions, the FBI and the Provost Marshal's Office confiscated and destroyed V-Discs that servicemen had smuggled home. An employee at a Los Angeles record company even did some jail time - his crime was the illegal possession of over 2500 V-Discs.

The man watching is Robert Benchley.


well, if you look at his wheel areangment, the changed him. Here he is an 2-4-0 with the main rod on the forward driving wheel...in the circus he is still a 2-4-0, but his rod arangment changed to the back wheel! also his bell is in a difrent spot and he became more stubby!


Actually, he didn't have a bell in Dumbo. And he also didn't have a front cab window either.


actually, he did have a front cab window in Dumbo.


Also, his whistle was changed. In this video, he had a more deep toned whistle, In Dumbo, he had a peanut like whistle.

Vince Salerno

Vincent Frank Salerno, a jazz pianist who continued to perform even as prostate cancer weakened his bones, died on Oct. 10. He was 78.

Salerno started playing the piano when he was seven years old. A decade later, he was able to perform George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," a 52-page piece of music, from memory.

Salerno's professional music career lasted for six decades. He took one three-year break during World War II to serve with the Army Air Forces. Before he was assigned to the infantry, Salerno played in the Air Force Marching Band and with the USO.

Once he returned to the states, Salerno toured with the Alvino Rey and Ted Fio Rito orchestras. He received a bachelor's degree in music and a master's in musical education from San Diego State College. He also spent 22 years with The Variations, the house band at the Hotel del Coronado. "The Bat" (1959) is uphill sledding for Vincent Price fans. There's little life in writer-director Crane Wilbur's tedious adaptation of the classic story by Mary Roberts Rinehart. All the ingredients are there -- the spooky house, the hooked-handed killer and a solid story that had already been filmed three times before. But Price is wasted as the prime red herring, as is Agnes Moorehead as the family matriarch. Watch for Our Gang's Darla Hood in an adult role, and dig that crazy "Bat" theme by steel guitar ace Alvino Rey

"THE BAT" WITH REY'S STEEL

1959's "The Bat" is an ultra-campy horror flick, featuring many occurrences that defy all manner of human logic.A mysterious mansion holds secrets and terror for the owner and visitors alike in this thriller based upon a classic stage play. Cornelia Van Gorder (Agnes Moorehead) has taken up residence in an old mansion that was the scene of some mysterious deaths years ago. www.millcreekent.com

But you know what? It doesn't matter. Because "The Bat", co-starring two of Hollywood's best (Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead) is still a really fun movie to watch, no matter how silly and impossible-to-believe the storyline is.

And this trailer is a real dandy too, especially the beginning of it, with Mr. Price inviting the viewers to "come closer" as he sits in his easy chair. Well done.

Andy Russell Enamorado 60's

WE LOVE ANDY RUSSELL: OUR MAN IN HOLLYWOOD

They called him the WEST COAST SINATRA. He was the first Mexican-American Pop singing sensation. A veteran of BIG BANDS led by GUS ARNHEIM and ALVINO REY, he was as skilled a drummer as he was a vocalist. Recording solo for CAPITOL RECORDS, he introduced the popular Latin standards "BÉSAME MUCHO", "AMOR" and "CUANDO VUELVA A TU LADO" (What A Difference A Day Makes) to American audiences. His English language hits included "LAUGHING ON THE OUTSIDE", "I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU" and "PRETENDING." ANDY parlayed success on records into a film and TV career that spread his fame to MÉXICO, ARGENTINA and SPAIN. Although he could easily have passed for White, ANDRESITO never hid his MESTIZO roots! ¡QUE VIVA LA RAZA! He was a source of MUCHO ORGULLO for the East Los Angeles community that he called home. The West Coast Sinatra passed away in 1992, but his smooth BOLEROS and sexy SONRISA won't soon be forgotten.
