Welcome
trippers to a retro blast to the UK space rock bands of the 70's, 80's
and beyond. A trip
to the past and the future... a journey far into space and deep inside
your mind! You thought you've seen it all? Let SONIC ATTACK blast you
with their searing synths, screaming guitars, smoke, strobes and cosmic
light show as we
revisit the space-rock festivals that left Earth's gravity before most
of you were born. Humans, UFO abductees and aliens are all
welcome! So
prepare to be transported back to the
'80's and rocketed thousands of years into the future!
SONIC ATTACK, based in Melbourne Australia,
is inspired by the alternative, progressive, space rock bands of the 70's
and beyond - specifically
Hawkwind,
who have an immense following in the UK and a solid fan base of diehard
fanatics and new converts in Australia. Hawkwind has recorded and toured
continuously for over 30 years and has been credited as the inspiration
for everything from Punk to Techno, and from Spinal Tap to the Rave
scene....as well as
SONIC ATTACK
itself!
The members of
SONIC ATTACK
are
Andrew Williams (drums), Anthony Rushton (guitar/vocals), Ric Duckett
(bass/vocals), and Gordon Williams (guitar/vocals).
Long-term Friend of Hawkwind Bob Walker joins us in spirit when not in
person with his unique contribution to vocals and performance.
James Hodkinson, Synth Master of UK Hawkwind tribute band Assassins of
Silence, will be moving downunder and joining us in November 2008. Peter Philp is the wizard sound engineer and Shane & Andy
often help out with lighting
and visual FXs.
