| For booking and other inquiries contact... email: spacehogmyspace@gmail.com ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: "Spacehog mixes glam-rock influences, such as David Bowie and T. Rex, into its wall-of-distorted-guitars alternative-rock sound. The quartet formed in New York City in 1993 when British drummer Jonny Cragg moved there and got a job killing rats in the basement of an espresso bar. He met guitarist Antony Langdon, also from the U.K., at the coffeeshop, and the two decided to visit topless bars and jam together. Langdon's brother Royston soon joined the group as a vocalist, and they added guitarist Richard Steel to round out the lineup. Almost immediately after the lineup coalesced, they attracted the attention of Sire Records president Seymour Stein, and their debut album, Resident Alien, was released in 1996. It soon spawned the hit single and video "In the Meantime." The Chinese Album followed in 1998. Three years later, Spacehog had a new deal with Artemis Records and issued a third effort entitled The Hogyssey." - All Music Guide "In ressurecting theatrical rock & roll, this New York band - whose members originally hail from the U.K. - offers something even better than nostalgia: It's called fun." - US Weekly "Every few years a special artist or band comes along which mysteriously defines a time, a place, an attitude musically and captures the attention of the world. The Beatles did it, as did Dylan, Bowie, The Doors, Springsteen, U2, and Nirvana, to name a few. Bold as it may sound, Spacehog has that spark of genius and greatness." - NY Post |
