Spacehog at Webster Hall – January 16, 2010

The night started out with a band called Sing Orpheus, I was late so I didn’t actually see them perform but from what I’ve heard on their myspace page they have an ambient and mysterious sound and are signed to Anthony Langdon’s label, Dilettante Records.
I did manage to catch the second band Unisex Salon and am so glad I did, they put on a phenomenal show! The lead singer Kenyon Phillips had a great energy and reminded me a bit of Iggy Pop with his flailing arms, wiggling dance moves and hands on hips stance. His vocals mixed with female singer Autumn Ready Potter provided refreshing and interesting harmonies throughout the set, the funky disco beats and New York attitude made for a great combination. Songs like ‘What I need’ and ‘Oh, oh, oh, oh’ just make you want to get up and dance! All in all it was a show worth seeing and if, given the chance, I would highly recommend you check out these NYC locals.

The main event of the night was of course the Spacehog reunion show and it would be the first gig they’d played in NYC together since 2002. Read more

Space Oddities interview w/ David Heinke (Arckid Session Drummer)
Can you detail your involvement in the music industry and association with Bryce Goggin prior to your time in the studio with Arckid?
I’ve been playing drums since I can remember, but my professional career began when I was 15 and played on an album by a band called Beggars (Island). It’s a solid debut album, but was deleted immediately by the record company. The only people who look for it now are fans of BRMC; Robert Been played bass on the record with me. That gig got me lots of other singer-songwriter-type demo gigs in the SF Bay area. I mean, they were demos, but it was still great to fly out from time to time. I grew up in Rockford, IL, and was in high school, so to fly anywhere to play drums was really cool.
Around 2000, I was in a proper band called Fuse, which got a small publishing deal from Warner-Chappell. We decided to use that money to fund an album, and Bryce was immediately on our short list based on the first two Spacehog albums. We met with him, we got on great, and we recorded the album in May of 2001. We tracked in CA and mixed in NJ. Sadly, like many great bands with great debut albums, we did not get signed and eventually broke up. But Bryce and I would email each other every couple of months–we definitely stayed in touch. So one day, out of the blue at the beginning of ‘06, Bryce called me and told me to call Roy right away.
