Trip to G9

From the Artist
Simon House has a career stretching back as far as the late sixties when he was a member of the band Hightide. Hightide recorded two popular underground albums for Liberty Records in 1969 and 1970 and were label mates of Hawkwind and also shared the same management company Clearwater Productions. Of course Hawkwind would go on to play a larger part in Simon House's life further down the line. The two albums that Hightide recorded in 1969 and 1979 were the debut Space Shanties and the self-titled Hightide from 1970. Both of these albums were compared favourably to bigger bands at the time like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin although in reality there was little to connect them other than the time period in which these albums appeared.

Simon House next moved onto a more experimental band in the shape of The Third Ear Band who recorded for Harvest records. The Third Ear Band recorded a number of albums for Harvest including the soundtrack to the Roman Polanski film Macbeth that was a critical and small commercial success.

During 1974 Simon House was asked to join Hawkwind having been out of the music business for a short time Simon agreed and joined the band on an American tour although as he didn't have a work permit he was officially unable to play with the band. In reality he did and that tour marked an extended stay with the band until 1978 when he moved on once again to work with David Bowie. It was originally thought that Simon House would return following the tour that spawned the live David Bowie album Stage however House seemed more than happy to stay with Bowie and remained an integral part of Bowie's band for many years. Simon did eventually work again with Hawkwind but not until 1989 when he joined following the departure of Huw Lloyd Langton. In 1994 Simon House released his debut solo album entitled Yassasim.
