grizzdrumSPACEHOG – In the Mean time
Spacehog, unlike other New York City bands such as D-Generation, NYC Loose and Chrome Locust, are one of the few successful Big Apple acts of the 1990s that survived the odyssey into the new millennium.Sorry mehr gab’s nicht im Netz, habe den Song auf einem Sampler gefunden.
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. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
