Hawklords — Live in Liverpool 2011-10-13

Another post that's not doom, and not even metal, but never mind that, here's the Hawklords.

A stellar cast of ex-Hawkwind types, playing Hawkwind songs, with a different take thatn recent Hawkwind lineups. Hawklords have less of a hard edge than Brock and Co., opting instead for lusher more rounded instrumentation. I like it both ways (said the actress to the bishop).

The show at Liverpool's O2 Academy kicked off their current tour, and it was a great night. The band was visibly moved at times by the audience reception (a lot of noise for a relatively small crowd) but they deserved all of it.
