nik turner » biog » nik turner project 9

Project 9, formed by Nik in 2011, plays an amalgam of (more or less) all the bands Nik has formed in his musical career, past, present and future:

  • Hawkwind (sci-fi/fant/space rock)
  • Sphynx (ethereal/majik/trance)
  • Inner City Unit (satyrical/political/musical/punk/post holocaust/high energy)
  • Nik Turner's Fantastic Allstars (jazzy/latin/dance)
  • Nik Turner's Galaktikos (funk/jazz/rock)
  • Nik Turner Band (latin/jazz/funk/rock)
  • Space Ritual (sci-fi/sci-fant/mythologic/space rock)
  • Hawklords (industrial/sci-fi featuring ex-members of Hawkwind and inspired by book Time of the Hawklords by Butterworth and Moorcock)
  • Outriders of Apocalypse (Mayan mythological/sci-fi inspired music and spectacular stage-show with all new material a la Miles' Bitches Brew, really wild)

The band can tailor its show to the needs of the audience.

The band has a very loose line-up, and features some of the personnel from Nik's other bands. This is the nucleus, plus bolt-ons of every conceivable other instrument, truly a sh*t-kicking outfit......or even possibly as a 3-piece. IT ROCKS!!?!

Nik 'Thunder Rider' Turner (sax, flute, vox)
Gary 'Slapper' Smart (bass guitar)
Meurig 'D.W.' Griffiths (drums and percussion)
plus guests
