Saw them again on Saturday night. As usual they played quite a few tracks
from their CD, as well as quite a few Hawkwind covers. Sorry to tell you
Chuck that the CD is just one side to the band - The rendition they did of
Assault & Battery/Golden Void almost made me cry it was that good. D-Rider,
Psychedelic Warlord's, Master of the Universe and Aerospaceage Inferno were
pretty damn good too. The good news I think is that they played one of their
new tracks "Shadows", and by comparison to what's on "Tales ...", I'd say the
next release will be a lot spacier and heavier.

(But I'm with Keith - I reckon their CD's quite good even though it sounds
nothing like HW despite the name).
