About Spacehog

Spacehog are an English-American alternative rock band, formed in 1994 in New York City by four British men who were living in the city (lead vocalist and bassist Royston Langdon, rhythm guitarist Anthony Langdon, drummer Jonny Cragg and lead guitarist Richard Steel). The band released three studio albums between 1994 and 2001, and one more after reuniting in 2006. Their musical style is a blend of post-grunge of the 1990s, with glam rock and space rock of the 1970s, influenced by David Bowie, Queen, T. Rex and Slade. The band is well known for their onstage theatrics, such as the Langdons dressing like the Spiders From Mars, guitarist Richard Steel playing solos with a foot up on his monitor and drummer Jonny Cragg twirling his drumsticks and lighting his gong on fire, and the 1996 single "In the Meantime". As such, they've been labeled a one-hit wonder by some music critics.
