The prog\/space rock touring trio of Nektar<\/strong>, Brainticket<\/strong> and Huw Lloyd-Langton <\/strong>of Hawkwind have added a few dates to their upcoming American tour. The three bands will be making stops in Chicago at Viper Alley <\/strong>on August 26th<\/sup><\/span>\u2019 in Sauget, Illinois<\/span> at Pops<\/strong> on August 28th<\/sup> and in Los Angeles at the Key Club <\/strong>on September 3rd<\/sup>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI almost cannot wait for this to happen and become a reality,\u201d said Joel Vandroogenbroeck <\/strong>of Brainticket, whose band has never toured America since their formation in 1969<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re pleased and excited to participate on this next tour,\u201d he added. \u201cBrainticket has not performed since decades and this appears to be a real revival of the once well known group.\u201d<\/p>\n

toured America with Widowmaker, the band he joined after initially leaving Hawkwind back in the early 70s after their first album. Widowmaker released two albums, both of which reached the Top 50. \u201cIt will be nice to be back there again!\u201d he smiled. \u201cVery much looking forward to opening the tour for Nektar, who are a great prog rock band. With Brainticket on the bill, too, the variety of styles should make a great concert!\u201d Lloyd-Langton rejoined Hawkwind in 1979.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the initial discussions with Cleopatra Records to the actual setting up of this tour, the excitement is growing rapidly in the Nektar camp,\u201d says Roye Albrighton <\/strong>on behalf of his band, adding, \u201cIt will be great to see some of the fans from the old days and greet the newer generation to the Nektar style and sound. I very much look forward to meeting the other bands and having a fantastic tour together.\u201d<\/p>\n
