Tommy Scott (born Thomas Scott, 18 February 1968, in Liverpool, England) is musician who grew up in Liverpool, England, and is best known as the frontman and guitarist of the 1990s Britpop/alternative music group Space. He is also known for writing the majority of the band's songs, including the smash hit "Female of the Species", as well as his wicked sense of humour.[citation needed] Scott can also play bass guitar and keyboards.
After Space collapsed in 2005, Scott formed a new group The Drellas (with Space drummer Leon Caffrey), who have more of a punk sound than Space and are yet to release an album. While in Space, Scott has also contributed a cover version of "Sunny Afternoon" on Tom Jones' Reload album, and appeared on "(How Does It Feel) To Be On Top Of the World", an unofficial 1998 World Cup single.
