New York City (1994 – present)
Spacehog were a glam rock band from the 1990s and 2000s, heavily influenced by David Bowie, Queen, and T. Rex. The group comprised Royston Langdon (bass and vocals), Antony Langdon (guitar and vocals), Richard Steel (guitar), and Jonny Cragg (drums). Though all the band members hailed originally from Leeds, England, the band was formed in New York City in 1994 when Antony Langdon met Cragg by chance, in a café where Cragg had a job killing rats. Soon after, Langdon’s brother Royston joined the band, and Spacehog were born.
On October 24, 1995, Spacehog released their debut album Resident Alien, which spawned the singles “In the Meantime” and “Cruel to be Kind”. The band’s second album, The Chinese Album, was released on March 10, 1998. Though it did not sell as well as Resident Alien, the band’s popularity was increasing as Spacehog opened for popular acts like Pearl Jam and Supergrass. The Chinese Album featured a more “artsy” sound, with Pink Floyd-like piano on the opening track and Michael Stipe of R.E.M contributing vocals to the song “Almond Kisses”.
In 2001, Spacehog released their final album, The Hogessy.
In 2002, Spacehog quietly broke up and the band members went their separate ways.

I always heard In The Meantime on the radio but I never know who it was by or what the song was called, I could only remember it because of the background "woo" vocals. I'm so glad I finally found them :D

I skipped seeing them with the Black Crowes when I was like 16 because I had finals and assumed they'd always be around. It would be amazing to see them now... I wouldn't risk not getting the chance again!

Awesome! They really need to go on tour and come through Austin. I've never gotten to see these guys live. I almost did once (I had tickets and everything) but then they broke up.

Are they REALLY reuniting?! A recent "blog" on Arckid's MySpach page seems to suggest so... Please, please don't let it be a joke!
