SOMEWHERE OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC

An era has ended. Space Fight is changing once again. Just like The Beatles and Steely Dan before us, the pressures (read: financial constraints) of touring have gotten beyond the point that we can handle.

When Bill, Tom, and myself started this band 2 and a half years ago, the goal was to gig together. It took Tom returning from Australia and me returning from the US for the three of us to finally achieve that goal. And quite frankly, we did it with five great performances, along with our new mate Dave. But more importantly, we had a fucking blast together.

Space Fight was started with the stipulation that if we didn't gel musically, at least I would have a couple lads to have a pint with when I arrived in London for the first time. Thankfully, it ended up being much more than that. But the band was also started to attempt to breathe life into some new music with a balls out sound, originality, and fearlessness. And that's what we will continue to do.

There may be a moment in the near or far future when we pick up our instruments once again and take to the stage, but too much is unknown about the future to say for certain. But fear not, Space Fight lives on!! We are at this moment continuing to write and record. We are just about finished with our debut album, and we are already working on tracks for what could be a second LP. This is not the end, this is only the beginning! Thanks for listening!

Yours,
Spencer and Space Fight
