Coming out of the ashes of the Strange Daze Festival is an Ohio based Space Rock band called Secret Saucer. A modern space rock band composed of members who have toured with Hawkwind and Nik Turner, who have recorded with Star Nation, and who are members (or ex-members) of Quarkspace, Architectural Metaphor, Church Of Hed, Sun Machine, and National Steam.
On their debut CD entitled “Element 115”, the musicians got together for one weekend and just JAMMED! , therefore the music is pure improvisational spacerock/krautrock. These are not mindless, wandering spacejams but cohesive and focused. If you like Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Ozric Tentacles, Ash Ra Tempel, Gong, Amon Düül II, Nektar, Camel, Porcupine Tree, or Eloy, you will like the CD! It was released on Dead Earnest Records out of Scotland in October, 2005.
