Spacehog
Spacehog is an English alternative rock band, formed by four British men living in New York City: (lead vocalist and bassist Royston Langdon, rhythm guitarist Anthony Langdon, drummer Jonny Cragg and lead guitarist Richard Steel). The band released three studio albums between 1994 and 2001, and one more after reuniting in 2006. Their musical style is a blend of post-grunge of the 1990s, with glam rock and space rock of the 1970s, influenced by David Bowie, Queen, T. Rex and Slade.
The band is known for their onstage theatrics, such as the Langdons dressing like The Spiders from Mars, guitarist Richard Steel playing solos with a foot up on his monitor and drummer Jonny Cragg twirling his drumsticks and lighting his gong on fire, and the 1996 single "In the Meantime". As such, they have been labeled a one-hit wonder by some music critics.
