HW: Various incarnations

[Keith A Henderson]

Hi Folks:

I was sitting around thinking that we should get together and come up with a
standardized nomenclature for all of the current and likely future incarnations
of Hawkwind - Friends & Relations, so to speak.  So, I've made a short list -
feel free to add any other suggestions.  Then we can have a vote once all the
nominations have been made.

OK, here goes.....

Hawkwind        The current lineup of Brock/Tree/Davey/Chadwick
Brockwind       Dave Brock's side projects, such as The Agents of Chaos
Nikwind         Nik Turner's band with House, Dettmar, Powell, Moorcock, etc.
Darkwind        The Nik Turner/DarXtar collaborations
Pinkwind        Nik joined by ex-Pink Fairies members
Mulowind        Harvey Bainbridge's projects in the HW vein
Elfwind         Alan Davey's projects in the HW vein
Metalwind       Huw Lloyd-Langton's projects in the HW vein
Headwind        Lemmy forms a side project to revive SR-blanga style
Foxwind         Samantha Fox fronts this band that charts the surprise dance
                             hit, 'Turn to page 3, please'
NikDikMikwind   Nik Turner tracks down the 'audio generator' in Kathmandu for
                             the sole purpose of outnumbering Brock's band in
                             terms of legitimate HW members
Creamwind       Ginger Baker decides to go back on the road with his own band
Slagwind        Ex-Hippie Slag Bridgett Wishart decides that HW has lost touch
                             with its feminine side
Hailwind        This heavily synth-dominated band features Keith Hayle and
                             Paul Hayles
Blakewind       Tim Blake's answer to the synth-based HW style...aka
                             'Breakwind' in the Orient
Spiralwind      Simon House deciding he can do it without Nik's help
Pressurewind    Nik's supporting musicians get the same idea, and sack Nik from
                             his own band
Funkwind        Alan Powell and Paul Rudolph decide to make Dave Brock's worst
                             fears become reality
Boobwind        Stacia 'fronts' this band, and nobody notices who else is in it
Welshwind       Dave Anderson produces this band of people noone has ever heard
                             of, and records them in his studio in the middle
                             of Powys, Wales
Ozwind          Dave Brock, fearing the effects of a counterclockwise Coriolis
                             force, is replaced by Ed Wynne, as the band makes
                             its first trip Down Under
Treewind        Long lost brothers Ron and Porcupine get together for an
                             interesting experience
Mickwind        Mick Slattery invites some of his Irish friends to form a
                             return to the true 'original' Hawkwind style
Wraithwind      Robert Clavert returns to Earth to continue some of his
                             on-stage banter, that he didn't feel he was given
                             a proper chance to complete the first time 'round
Bocwind         Members of this list get together to form a band in tribute to
                             Dave Brock, and perform at Dave's 100th birthday
                             party in Bideford
Bastardwind     No, not Ron Tree, but Doug Smith forms this band - no music,
                             but they still take your money at the door

Well, that's a good start....hope I didn't offend anyone - if so, I apologize
profusely.

Oh, by the way, this is a joke......hope you realized that... :)
