Artist:Spacehog
Song:In the Meantime
Album:Resident Alien
Spacehog had success with the 1995 debut album Resident Alien and the single In the Meantime. Other than that, they weren't very successful. The unusual thing about Spacehog is they are from Leeds, England but they met in New York. Drummer Jonny Cragg was working in a cafe killing rats when he met guitarist Antony Langdon. He brought in his brother Royston Langdon who sings, plays bass and writes most of the songs. Cragg brought in Richard Steel to play lead guitar. They signed with Sire Records and released the 1995 album Resident Alien. The single In the Meantime reached #32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Mainstream Rock chart. The video went into heavy rotation on MTV. The album was certified Gold. Spacehog self produced and Royston Langdon wrote most of the songs including In the Meantime. When the 1998 album The Chinese Album didn't do as well, Sire dropped Spacehog. After releasing the 2001 album The Hogyssey on the smaller Artemis label, Spacehog split up. Royston Langdon married actress Liv Tyler in 2003. The had a son and split up in 2008. In 2006, the Langdon brothers brought in a third brother Christian Langdon to form Arckid. It looks like they recorded an album but it was never released. Spacehog reunited in 2008 and released an album on their own label in 2013. They seem to be inactive. Royston Langdon released a solo album in 2018 and a single last year. Here's the video for In the Meantime by Spacehog.
