Spacehog were formed by natives of Leeds, England in the spring of 1994 in New York City.Guitarist Antony Langdon met drummer Jonny Cragg at a cafe in the East Village whereCragg worked killing rats in the basement. The pair agreed to make music and Langdonpersuaded his younger brother Royston to move to the States to sing and play bass. Thecurrent lineup was finally completed Craggs’ friend Richard Steel who moved to New York to fillout an all Yorkshire lineup.The band quickly generated a following and record company interest with their epic liveshows and sharp, irreverent and mesmerizing song craft. They signed with Sire Records in the Spring of 1995.
Spacehog, with producer Bryce Goggin recorded their platinum debut‘Resident Alien’ at Bearsville Studios later that year, scoring a mega-hit single with ‘In The
Meantime’ in early 1996.The band’s follow up; The Chinese Album, was released in 1998, taking a more thoughtful andconceptual approach, it consolidated their appeal In Europe and South America, and tours
with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith and The Sex Pistols.The advent of the new millennium saw more touring with REM and Oasis and a third
album; The Hogyssey, recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis with producer Paul Ebersold.Spacehog were largely inactive from 2001 until July 2006 when they reformed to play Craggs’birthday party. The party served as a catalyst for recording their fourth studio LP; ‘As It Is onEarth’ again with Goggin and released in 2013.In 2024 the band contributed to the Grammy nominated soundtrack to ‘Guardians Of The
Galaxy 3’. And now after this long ride the band has decided to saddle up once again....

British dance-rock quintet EMF formed in Cinderford, England in October 1989. All five originalmembers were veterans of the local music scene before founding EMF, whose name supposedlystood for “Epsom Mad Funkers" (although it was widely speculated that the initials insteadrepresented "Ecstasy Mother Fuckers"). Within two months of formation, the group played its firstgig; after unearthing a Casio sampler and sequencer in a local thrift shop, a light techno elementwas added to their rock-oriented sound.Their debut album, SCHUBERT DIP, was released in May 1991. It was certified platinum (over amillion copies sold) in the US in September 1991. It had reached a peak chart position of #3 in theUK and #12 in the US, as well as finishing the year at #57 overall.By the end of 1991, their
infectious debut single “Unbelievable” had conquered the charts on both sides of the Atlantic,hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #3 in the UK. The single was certified gold (over 500,000copies sold) in the US in May 1991. The song was in such heavy rotation for most of the year inAmerica, that it finished as the #6 single overall for the year.Further hit singles that succeeded “Unbelievable” included “I Believe,” “Children” and “Lies.”In 1992, EMF returned with the Unexplained EP and the much darker full-length effort STIGMA;STIGMA peaked at #19 on the UK charts, and the band toured extensively to promote it. It
produced hit singles and EMF live set favourites, “They’re Here” and “It’s You.”The band released their final full-length album of new material in 1995 with CHA CHA CHA.After a successful European tour, they teamed up with comics Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer on acover of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer,” which reached number 2 on the UK charts.The band reunited in the summer of 2001 and released a Greatest Hits CD that coincided with amini European festival and UK tour. The Greatest Hits CD, called THE BEST OF EMF: EPSOMMAD FUNKERS, featured 2 discs: the first had a collection of singles and fan favorite album
tracks, along with 2 brand new tracks: "Incredible" and "Let's Go." The second disc had popularremixes.
The band were primed to write new material and tour more extensively but the sudden passing ofbassist Zac Foley on January 2, 2002 shocked the band into silence. The remaining 4 originalmembers spent several years focusing their time on personal projects and their families.The band reunited in 2007 and have been steadily doing festivals and live shows in the years since.In 2020, the band released a career-spanning vinyl box set and spent most of 2020 and 2021celebrating 30 years of EMF.The band surprised fans by telling them that profits from the recent merchandise sold was beingused to record a new album, Go Go Sapiens was released in 2022. It was be the first album of allnew material since 1995 and received both fan and critical acclaim.2024 has seen the band embark on 12 night sell out UK tour, release another brand new Studioalbum, The Chaos and the Beauty and announce their first USA shows in over 25 years...
