Spaced Out is the brainchild of bassist & composer Antoine Fafard. He formed the band in 1998 by recruiting Martin Maheux on drums, Mathieu Bouchard on guitar, and Eric St-Jean on the keyboards. From here onwards, the group began producing their brand of jazz-oriented progressive rock, whilst being inspired by a variety of musical styles along the way.
In the year 2000, Unicorn Records released the band's self-titled debut. Following this album, Bouchard left the group and was replaced by Louis Côté. In 2001, the album Eponymus II was released bringing with it a more progressive sound compared to the previous CD; allowing room for musical experimentation and exploration.
In June 2002 Spaced Out participated at the prestigious North East Art Rock Festival (NEARfest) in Trenton NJ performing to an audience of 1850 people. The band's performance was received with great enthusiasm, raising Spaced Out's popularity to another level.
The Slow Gin album, released in March 2003, brang with it even more jazz fusion and progressive style to the music. A DVD intltled "Live in 2000" was released in late 2005.
A studio album entitled "Unstable Matter" was released on July 10th, 2006. Spaced Out performed at the Festival Crescendo in August 2006 and a live album was released in July 2007; A DVD of the same concert was released in August of the same year.
The latest Spaced Out studio album entitled "Evolution" was released on September 13, 2008 at the FMPM in Montreal, Canada.
The song Biomechanic II from the album Evolution was featured on Prognosis - a CD sampler which comes with the April 09 issue of the British magazine Classic Rock Presents Prog.
