Assassins of Silence

About Me

The full-on 1970's psychedelic experience - light show, smoke, dancers, hypnotic rhythms and soaring leads - the Assassins of Silence deliver like no one else. With a set list ranging from 1969 to 1993 and a visual presentation situated firmly in Hawkwind's Space Ritual era they provide a space rock experience to ensnare the senses and transport the mind to the furthest reaches of the Andromeda galaxy.The Assassins have played a range of festivals and club dates over the last 5 years and have built up a loyal following. Their light show and dancers are renowned in the space rock scene. The Starship Assassin stands by, ready to touch down in your venue.Formed in 2002 by a hardcore cadre of Hawkwind fans and led by Dave Adams on Rickenbacker bass and backing vocals, the current lineup consists of James Hodkinson on keyboards, synths and vocals, Kevin Perry on guitar, synths and vocals, Mike Tuppen on drums, Des McGovern on vocals and percussion, and our dancers. The band's focused live show has become legendary.
