Spaceline (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spaceline are a contemporary English band formed by the River Kennet, Berkshire, UK in 2002 by multi-instrumentalist Stephen Head, harmonicist/guitarist Barry Newman and drummer Ben Wilcox. The group, latterly based in London, UK, have since seen numerous personnel changes - along with Head and Newman the band now features Cam Reynolds on Hammond organ, viola player Abi Fry (of British Sea Power and Bat For Lashes, among others) and steel/lead guitarist Nick Benfield.
2005 saw the band release tracks on the acclaimed Live at the Electroacoustic Club - Volume 1 on Running Jump Records as well as two volumes of $talker Records' At The Forum compilation series. The band also released the limited edition Country Love EP in 2003. New material is currently expected to arrive in mid-2006, while the band can be found performing infrequent, improvised shows around the UK, again exhibiting ever-changing arrangements.
Head has played lead guitar with Ghosts, recent signees to Atlantic Records and Trevor Horn's publishing label Perfect Songs, toured in late-2006 with Beggars Banquet Records band The Early Years and also plays Hammond, piano, bass and guitar in the improvisation collective The Flowers of Hell. Newman's own project, The Slow, can be found playing regular shows around London and beyond.
