Hawkwind, a “space rock” band that has seen over 31 regular members and six guest members come and go is still going strong. In fact, they play at Clumber Park during the “Rock the Park” festival on August 17. Also on the bill will be Brit Floyd, Focus (a band with 15 former members,) and Carl Palmer, just to name a few. Do the other bands on the bill give you an idea of what Hawkwind sounds like? Do you remember the famous song Focus is known for? It’s titled Hocus Pocus, and it’s one of those earworm songs that anyone over 35 will remember well. While that song is not very “prog,” you only need to listen to their 23 minute song titled Eruption, to know that they are certainly part of the prog-rock genre. This isn’t a post about Focus, so I’ll try to get back on track. Read on...
