Backstory
Space Heroes of the People formed in Oxford in 2006. The line up is samples and loops, double bass and whatever else we can get our hands on. We're inspired by like anything which rocks, and which makes people dance, and which is a bit experimental. Tim stole the band name from a T shirt, and, well, here we are.
We’re definitely a live act, and we welcome gig offers, reviews, radio/podcast plays, and suchlike. You can contact us through the myspace url or at info@spaceheroes.net anytime.
