Space Monkey (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the English band with a similar name, see Space Monkeys.

Space Monkey was a British pop group from the mid-1980s led by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Paul Goodchild. The group's sole album was 1985's On the Beam, issued in the UK by Innervision Records and in the USA by MCA.

Space Monkey was not a "group" per se; Goodchild was in fact the only person to appear on every one of On the Beam's tracks. Various session musicians were utilized, including Wham's backup band and members of Bow Wow Wow. Also contributing was keyboard player Adrian Lee, who would later join Mike and the Mechanics.
