Brainticket and Nik Turner touring the USA in 2013?

[Toka]

Looks like they are playing a festival in LA as well as SXSW in March...anyone know of other dates?

[strawberrybrick]

Wow! Could it be the Space Invasion tour Part 2!

[Lino]

I sure hope so! Brainticket were exceptionally cool on that first invasion tour.

Details please, I'd love to see them and I live near LA, assuming you mean Los Angeles and not Lousianna

[Hunnibee]

It just might be Louisiana, since SXSW is in Texas.

It's Los Angeles according to this site. http://jasonwillerdrums.com/

[Lino]

Fantastic!

[Toka]

Any word on any other dates? Kind of hard to imagine it would just be the two shows.

EDIT: Just saw on the site linked above that it looks like there will be more US shows this summer (and new albums from both, with Joel playing with Nik! Awesome!).

For Immediate Release

Hawkwind Legend Nik Turner Returns To His Intergalactic Roots On New CD 'Space Gypsy' and Upcoming US Tour

Los Angeles, CA – Founding member of pioneering space-rock band Hawkwind returns to his intergalactic roots with his soon-to-be-released mind-blowing new CD titled 'Space Gypsy'! Featuring all new material, 'Space Gypsy' boasts guest appearances by fellow Hawkwind alumnus violinist Simon House, and Gong guitar legend Steve Hillage, along with Nicky Garratt of the UK Subs, Jurgen Engler of German industrial band Die Krupps, and Jeff Piccinini of '70s punk icons Chelsea. Making the CD release even more exciting, Nik Turner has released a dark, hypnotic new video called “Time Crypt featuring Simon House”. This is the second video Nik has released in support of 'Space Gypsy', the first being “Fallen Angel STS-51-L”; from the album's first single about the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Nik Turner's Space Ritual Tour runs in the US from October 9th through November 17th in support of the new CD.

Nik Turner was a founding member of Hawkwind during what has been considered their most commercially successful and critically acclaimed period for the band from 1970 to 1976. He wrote/co-wrote some of the group's most popular songs such as “Brainstorm” and “Master Of The Universe”. Hawkwind's 4th and possibly most popular album 'The Space Ritual Alive in Liverpool and London' was recorded in 1972 (released in May 1973). Reaching #9 in the UK album charts and #179 in the Billboard Top 200, the double-record was recorded during the tour to promote the band's 'Doremi Fasol Latido' (third) release. The Space Ritual show attempted to create a full audio-visual experience. The performances featured dancers, lightshow by Liquid Len and poetry recitations by Robert Calvert. Nik Turner recently brought his version of the historic show to the US shores, recreating the magic once again!

Says Nik Turner, “This single 'Fallen Angel STS-51-L' is the epitome of epiphanic, orgasmic, cathartic embodiment of my space dreams, become one man's reality, exploding into space. Expect lots more on this awesome album”.

Nik Turner's 'Space Gypsy' will be released in three different formats: A regular CD release packaged in an attractive digipak with original artwork; a limited edition gatefold vinyl with bonus etched 7-inch single; and for the ultimate collector – the complete experience! A special limited edition deluxe box version of 'Space Gypsy', which includes a bonus CD of rough mixes and instrumental versions that feature additional flute and saxophone improvisations from Nik not included on the album. Also included are 4 postcards, a gorgeous full color patch and collectible pin.

An additional show has been added in Brooklyn on Nov.4 in the evening at the same venue as the Sunday show. I'd love to find out the band line up.

[Progluvr]

Wow...interesting choice to play at the Rythmn Room in Phoenix... I'm seeing Hawkwind on Oct. 20 and will try to make this one although being a weeknight and about 35 miles away might make it difficult. Tempting though....

I approach a lot of these tours as if they may be the last for the artist...

That's a good point and well taken! In general it's usually difficult for many of them to even get to tour and need all the support we can give them. I will seriously consider going, it's just that 5:30am to get up for work is what makes it harder during the week. :)

[Toka]

Saturday spacerock in Philly! Color me there.

[Cats On Glue]

auto-buy these 2 tracks sound fantastic. and i wouldn't miss this tour for anything.
