Spacehog In The Studio
From left to right: Ant and Richard; Roy recording bass; The buttons that make the hit songs; Jonny on the drums at Viper Room.
As you know, Spacehog is working hard on new tracks this week. I took alot of cute pics (boys, thanks again for always being so sweet). Spacehog’s official myspace should be up soon. I’m sure that once it is, they’ll be able to add new songs and fill you in on the happenings. I got a couple emails about the earthquake and everyone is perfectly fine, thanks for asking. If you are a venue, studio, label, etc interested in the band, send word to the Arckid myspace for now. Don’t forget, they are playing Troubador on Friday night.
Keep on hoggin’ on. xoxo
Spacehog Reunion At The Viper Room
Well I’m standing on the launch pad
looking at the stars.
I’m waiting for the countdown to begin.

11:15pm, Monday July 29th, 2008 at Los Angeles’ Viper Room. Royston, Antony, Jonny and Richard enter the Viper Room’s front door to the screams of an almost-capacity Viper Room crowd. Instruments in hand, they ran onto stage, behind the drawn curtain. A bearded Rich Steel emerged briefly and approached me after I shouted his name. We had a brief hi-volume club conversation over the house music. (You know the type… “How have you been?” “I’ve been outside” “What’s outside?” “Yeah, wild!” “What???” “Badgers?… What about them?” “Cool!”) I attempted to tell him how excited I was about seeing them live, and that it satisfied a long-term dream of mine. I think he said that they weren’t ready, that they’d hardly rehearsed and he hoped that the show lived up to my dreams. It’s entirely possible he was talking about badgers, but I think I heard him correctly.
