Ladbroke Grove

Hawklords

Formed in 1978, Hawklords were an offshoot from a recently disbanded Hawkwind and originally featured Hawkwind members Robert Calvert, Dave Brock and Simon King with the addition of Harvey Bainbridge, Martin Griffin and ex-Pilot keyboard player Steve Swindells. It is not known what prompted the temporary disbanding of Hawkwind and the use of the name Hawklords, though popular opinion is that this due to legal reasons and that Brock wished to embark on fresh musical ventures. The band remained active between 1978 and 1979, releasing one studio album 25 Years On.

The Deviants

The Deviants (formerly the Social Deviants) were a musical group in the United Kingdom. Out of the Ladbroke Grove UK Underground Community, a number of bands would emerge. Perhaps the most anarchistic band of the Underground was the Deviants founded and fronted by singer/writer Mick Farren, the Social Deviants, later just the Deviants, made three bizarre albums in two years. Mick Farren states that The Deviants were a community band which "did things every now and then - it was a total assault thing with a great deal of inter-relation and interdependence".
