Spaceheads

UK duo Spaceheads have released 7 albums on such labels as Merge, BiP_HOp, Pandemonium Rdz. Andy Diagram (trumpet) and Richard Harrison (drums), take their unique sound, based on live trumpet loops, drums and electronics, to greater sonic extremes.
Lazy grooves and thick harmonised trumpet chords; sleazy deep beat brass and crushed up metallic drumbeats. Spaceheads mix the raw emotional sound of breath with the banging of wood on skin, and push it through the blips, crackle and distortion of pixelated electronic noise.

Friends since university, the four boys had been playing music for as long as they care to remember; as Nick puts it, "It was always the plan". Jez discovered he could handle the responsibility of the microphone when he invaded someone else's performance "and for some reason wasn't kicked off stage" and the need for a singer helped him grow into the responsibility.
