I posted this here because this band originated in my hometown of Norwich and because they have Hawkwind connections.

Not only are they a Hawkwind inspired band (this video is not the best example of that) but they are part of Hawkwind's Friends and Relations. They have appeared on an album put out by Hawkwind a long time ago which was a compilation of like minded space rock bands that had a Hawkwind connection. I believe their drummer was the connection but I am unclear what that was.

More interesting to me is that the founder of the band Andrew Rix was a work colleague of mine back at the time when he was first forming this band back in 77/78 at the same time as I was learning guitar. Andrew is the bass player with his wife Judy on lead vocals and his brother Adrian on keyboards and they are the nucleus of UZO. I lost touch with him and I haven't seen him for the best part of 30 yrs but I used to see the band in their early days.
They have even played live with Nik Turner on sax doing Silver Machine.

The band is still going and doing the occasional UK space rock festival and they still have local connections I believe..........but they never made it bigtime.
