Almost utterly forgotten because that had no hits and were difficult to pidgeonhole, the Pink Fairies were actually a great band from an era when post-psychedelic hippy rock was evolving into prog and heavy metal. In many ways, the Fairies were the UK's answer to the MC5, a power trio that DIDN'T attempt long bluesy jams or indulge in mind-numbing rifferama but DID prefigure not only early Motorhead (before they succumbed to HM) but punk rock. The Fairies were loud, mean and nasty but they had some humour and subtlety to play with too. Street-cred didn't come any better at the time: the band were bona-fide underground heroes who even made Hawkwind seem like commercial chart contenders. They flirted with radical politics and often played for nothing...
