[Maxine Wesley]

Lokos like the south is becoming a hotbed for HW activity...

more advertising for ya:

The world's number one  Hawkwind tribute band, ASSASSINS OF SILENCE are at
South Parade Pier on Friday.

The Assassins of Silence deliver the full-on 1970's Hawkwind experience -
light show, smoke, dancers, hypnotic rhythms and soaring leads.With a set list
ranging from 1969 to 1993 and a visual presentation situated firmly in the Space
Ritual era they provide a virtual space rock experience.

Renowned in the space rock scene for their light show and dancers,  The
Assassins have played a range of festivals and gigs  and have built up a loyal
following.

Formed in 2002 by a hardcore cadre of Hawkwind fans and led by Dave Adams on
Rickenbacker bass and vocals, the current lineup includes Chris Crosskey on
keyboards, Kevin "Spook" Perry on guitar and vocals, Rob Holmes on drums and Ben
Deschamps on woodwinds and violin. Their dancer, Kat, in a variety of
costumes, is a highlight of the set, and Des the Roadie even guests on vocals for a
few numbers.

The band's chaotic but focused live show has become legendary, and its fame
has even spread to the Hawkwind camp,  who invited them to play Hawkfest 2003,
thus  making them  one of the few tribute acts ever to be booked by the band
whose songs they play!

ASSASSINS OF SILENCE appear at South Parade Pier, Southsea, on Friday 30th
July. Doors open at 8.p.m.
