Spock's Beard Pay Tribute To Leonard Nimoy
. (TeamRock Radio) Spock's Beard have paid tribute to actor Leonard Nimoy, who inspired the band's name. The Star Trek icon - who played the Vulcan character in the original series from 1966 until 2013 movie Star Trek Into Darkness - died last week aged 83 after a battle with lung disease. Drummer Jimmy Keegan says: "There was a kind of joke within the band, about having a band named after Spock in the Star Trek episode Mirror Mirror, where the character has a beard and an entirely different persona. "Other names were thrown around - but there was something endearing about 'Spock's Beard' and so it was kept, and so it is." He adds: "The name brings weight. Spock was a special character, and with prog being a very intellectual music style, it was a good fit and still is." Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
