SPACESHIP HAWKWIND TO LAND AT NEARFEST 2007

NEARfest is very excited to announce the legendary British space rock 
collective Hawkwind as our first headline act for our ninth annual festival. Led by 
guitarist, keyboardist and vocalist Dave Brock, Hawkwind has earned world-wide 
renown for their 36-year musical mission to explore inner and outer space. 
>From their genre-defining classic albums "Space Ritual", "Hall of the Mountain 
Grill", and "Warrior at the Edge of Time" to their brand new recording "Take Me 
to Your Leader", the band has coursed through the cosmos with their 
progressive hard rock guitar and keyboard-led attack, sci-fi themed lyrics, and 
memorable songs.

Hawkwind has always shined most in a live setting through the decades, with 
improvisatory excursions intermingling with visual imagery and interpretive 
dancing to provide immersive multi-media sensory experiences for audiences around 
the world. Be sure not to miss this rare Stateside landing of spaceship 
Hawkwind on the Saturday slate at NEARfest 2007!

(*pending expected visa approval by the end of 2006)

MP3 downloads will be available on the NEARfest website in the near future.
