Stacia (full name Stacia Blake), born 26th December 1952 in Irelan, was an exotic dancer for the English rock group Hawkwind. Stacia joined the band in 1971, and true to this band's rather chemically-influenced history, accounts vary as to how and why she began working with the band. Liner notes to In Search of Space seem to indicate that poet and lyricist Robert Calvert was somehow involved; other sources state that she was a friend of Nik Turner, saxophonist and flautist for the band. In an interview in British music magazine Melody Maker, Stacia herself stated that she simply showed up and was inspired to dance by the band's music. In any case, she joined the "crew" in 1971 and immediately became an integral part of the group.
