It’s only been in the last few years that I finally took the time to explore the works of a band who has since become a major inspiration. Hawkwind were always a band that intrigued me, but I was hesitant to explore them because of the complexity of their decades long career. I finally overcame that apprehension and delved into their early works to get a foundational understanding and have loved what I’ve found so far. Their “Space Ritual” live performances are certainly the inspirational basis for some things that are starting to take shape now. So I’m happy to promote this little BBC4 documentary. I hope you’ll take the time to appreciate this most unique of musical trajectories. Let’s hear it for scummy space hippies!
Mr. Fist likes to make music. Mr. Fist likes to make creepy music, assembling sounds and words that ferment together into a bubbling broth of hallucinogenic mayhem. He’s been stirring this pot of perversion for nearly 30 years, so you can be certain that this potion is potent enough to unhinge the most stalwart of minds. Once this door is open, you’ll be ushered into a weird, wild world populated by a motley assortment of questionable characters in peculiar places. This is a place where the mundane becomes mutated and the dross is delivered unto the heavens because Mr. Fist knows how easy it is to get stains on white. Mr. Fist has been an independent producer working the DIY vein since 1981. All works here were composed, performed and produced by Mr. Fist unless otherwise noted. Commercial interests may contact Mr. Fist for licensing and contracting inquiries via the Blood 'n' Tongue website.
