The Quarkness – The Spirit of Hawkwind | Future Yard
Advertisement
Performing classic tracks from Hawkwind’s golden age, The Quarkness is a new venture for some very experienced musicians!
The band features Karl Benson (from Half Man Half Biscuit) on guitar and vocals, Roddie Gilliard (from renowned Zappa interpreters The Muffin Men) on keys and synthesisers, Mandy Bruce ( from pioneering all-female punks The Iconoclasts, and later The Slingbacks and Scorpio Rising) on bass and vocals, and “Spekki Sarah Lucas” (also from The Iconoclasts) on drums.
Visuals are always a major feature of any Hawkwind show and, with that in mind, The Quarkness are working in tandem with Zenjen Lighting, who have provided lights and projections for the likes of Space Ritual and Hawklords, as well as many spacerock/psychedelia festivals throughout the UK.
Following their packed-out debut at Birkenhead’s Molly’s Chambers in May, and a series of club and festival dates through the summer, The Quarkness now bring The Spirit Of Hawkwind to Future Yard on 21st December for a mind-blowing Winter Solstice special!
The Quarkness – it’s the spirit of the age.
