"900 Spaces are the band I WANT AND HAVE TO MEET. Ok the caps are a little full on but listening to their music is ‘ear opening’ and think we are on to a good thing with these guys. Make sure you keep up to date with their movements as they have many good things coming! "

“All the core components of a good party band are here, from the synths and angelic voice of lead singer Emma Lou, to the style of bassist Joe-Leigh Branton who dances like Franz Ferdinand and the considered pickings of guitarist Adam House. They have a good forthcoming run of gigs and this should tighten the group dynamism further. With a new EP out also; if the band keep adding to this strong repertoire and maintain the strong form then they’ll deserve to be playing to 900 faces.”
