With Everything You Need to Know About Hawkwind, we take you inside a band that represented the flip side of psychedelia

Hawkwind released 'Hall of the Mountain Grill' on Sept. 6, 1974.

The Hawkwind woodwind player will tour the U.S. designed to replicate their tour behind 1972's 'Space Ritual.'

Prog: the final frontier ... of William Shatner's recording career, that is.

Nik Turner -- whose flute, saxophone, vocals and compositions helped define Hawkwind's early success -- is hitting the road with a brand new solo LP.

In 1973, Hawkwind released what many consider to be one of the all-time greatest live albums, 'Space Ritual.' Recorded in late-1972 while on tour to promote their classic  'Doremi Fasol Latido' album, Hawkwind pulled out all the stops and turned a concert into an event.

The men of Hawkwind will be glad to put 2012 behind them as another longtime member has died. Guitarist Huw Lloyd Langton succumbed to cancer last night (Dec. 6), according to a statement on the band's website. He was an influential part of the band in the early 70s and throughout the 80s, appearing on 10 of their 25 albums.
