Space Race

About Me


DUMB ROCK vs SMART POP.
This is the SPACE RACE station. Are you receiving guitar transmissions that we're beaming to you?Bringing the heat of the Sun to the cold of space, we're beaming these tunes so every alien race can hear they've got nothing to fear. A race for the Sun backed by billions. Not by the Super Powers, by civillians. We were chosen by the people. We're the SPACE RACERS keeping your Sun peaceful.Burning. Forboding. Hydrogen exploding! Combustion/Ignition. SPACE RACE are back. We're on a dangerous mission.Colonizin' blazing horizons. Eyes on the needle because the temperature is rising. But everybody's chillin' with the SPACE RACERS. C'mon, kick back and get a little taste. Over & Out
SPACE RACEOriginal members Migg 01 and Benn 9000 formed chill tune duo "The Very" in London circa 2000. A lawsuit from a Scottish band forced a name change to MmmVery.In 2005 the band relocated to Perth when producer Todd 20-20 wanted in on the band after hearing demo EP "Kids Need Cafe's". Todd brought a new rock edge to the established folktronica sound.A name change prior to the new line-up's first gig reflected the change in sound. Space Race was born.Migg was deported in late '05. Mat H1-11 joined the band on Bass in 2007 and 2008 welcomed Stik 8409 on Drums.Dumb rock. Smart pop. Guitars, beats and electronics. Pop hooks. Rock attitude. Space Race is old-school analogue fun at a new millenium digital party!
