Renowned in the space rock scene for their light show and dancers, The Assassins Of Silence have deservedly have built up a loyal following, and at last we've got them in Southsea!!!!!. The Assassins Of Silence were formed in 2002 by a hardcore cadre of Hawkwind fans and led by Dave Adams on Rickenbacker bass and vocals, the current lineup includes Chris Crosskey on keyboards, Kevin "Spook" Perry on guitar and vocals, Rob Holmes on drums and Ben Deschamps on woodwinds and violin. Their dancer, Kat, in a variety of costumes, is a highlight of the set, and Des the Roadie even guests on vocals for a few numbers. The band's chaotic but focused live show has become legendary, and its fame has even spread to the Hawkwind camp, who invited them to play Hawkfest 2003, thus making them one of the few tribute acts ever to be booked by the band whose songs they play!
