  • Alan Powell is a drummer who was mainly active during the 1970s. His first notable appearances were with Chicken Shack, appearing on the 1974 live album Goodbye, and Vinegar Joe. He continued his friendship with Robert Palmer from Vinegar Joe co-writing Gotta Get a Grip on You, Part 2 (from 1976's Some People Can Do What They Like), The Silver Gun (from 1983's Pride) and Life in Detail (from the soundtrack to 1990's Pretty Woman). During 1974 he joined Hawkwind as a second drummer, recording two albums, 1975's Warrior on the Edge of Time and 1976's Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music, and contributed to Hawkwind collaborator Michael Moorcock's 1975 album New Worlds Fair. On leaving Hawkwind, he sessioned on Nik Turner's 1978 album Xitintoday. During 1977 he formed the short lived touring band Kicks with Paul Rudolph (Hawkwind), Steve York (Vinegar Joe) and Cal Batchelor (Quiver), then teamed up with Mick Farren for 1977's "Screwed Up" EP and 1978's Vampires Stole My Lunch Money album. Also in 1978 he formed Tanz Der Youth with The Damned leader Brian James, released the single "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry"/"Delay", recorded a Peel Session, toured with Black Sabbath and appeared at Turner's Bohemian Love-In event. At the end of the 1970s he emigrated to San Francisco and fronted his own new wave Jo Allen and the Shapes band, releasing the 1980 single "Cryin' Over You"/"Lowlife" and "Shimmy, Shimmy" on the "415 Music" compilation album. During the 1990s he re-united with some of his former Hawkwind colleagues for several North American tours which resulted in the 1995 live album and video Space Ritual Revisited and a 1996 studio album Past or Future.
  • Alan Powell on englantilainen rumpali joka muistetaan mm. Hawkwindin entisenä rumpalina. Powellin ensimmäiset isommat yhtyeet olivat 1970-luvun alkupuoliskolla Chicken Shack ja Vinegar Joe. Vinegar Joessa vaikutti myös myöhemmin sooloartistina tunnettu Robert Palmer, jonka kanssa Powell kirjoitti kappaleita vielä myöhempinäkin vuosina. Vuonna 1974 Hawkwindin rumpalin Simon Kingin jouduttua sairauslomalle, tuli Alan Powell tuuraamaan häntä yhtyeen kiertueelle. Kingin tervehdyttyä Powell jäi yhtyeeseen toiseksi rumpaliksi. Powell oli mukana vuoteen 1976 asti, kunnes musiikillisten erimielisyyksien takia hänet erotettiin yhdessä basisti Paul Rudolphin ja Nik Turnerin kanssa. Hawkwindin jälkeen hän oli mukana parissa lyhytaikaisessa yhtyeessä (Kicks, Tanz Der Youth) sekä Mick Farrenin sooloalbumilla. 1970-luvun lopussa hän muutti San Fransiscoon ja perusti uuden aallon yhtyeen Jo Allen And The Shapes, joka teki pari singleä. 1990-luvun puolivälissä hän oli mukana Nik Turnerin Space Ritual-projektissa, jolta julkaistiin live- ja studioalbumi. Tällä hetkellä Alan Powell työskentelee Amerikan länsirannikolla konsultointialalla.
