What have I wrought.

Idly curious, I went to see if Hawkwind was playing any gigs around London while I'll be there. They're not, but this led me to the Sweden Rock Festival next June, where they are playing. Along with Judas Priest, the Scorpions, UFO, Monster Magnet, Slade, April Wine, Heart, Nazareth, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth. (Europe is playing too, but I'm sure we can pack a few rotten tomatoes.)

I'm intrigued. More than a bit. And you can camp for free with the price of your ticket (though I bet Steve will fuss if I suggest it).

Edit: Which the ticket price translates to THIRTEEN BUCKS. We pay almost that much for a fucking movie these days. There is no way I can pass this up. (Airfare, shmaerfare.)

That was this year's lineup. From the website it looks like only Nazareth have confirmed for next year. Still, should be good if you like that sort of thing.

If you like Hawkwind you might like the Japanese band Acid Mothers Temple who I saw at a festival in March. They do similar acid rock stuff, but with a slight Japanese girl intoning the lyrics. And like all Japanese rock bands, they are quite mad. e.g. Electric Eel Shock.
