Appearing from seemingly from nowhere, and hated by all, the original ravens had nothing but Saint Vitus and Black Sabbath on their mind. In 2005 they did record a demo cunningly titled 'Space Raven' and played a couple of shows much to the displeasure of the local pink cider swilling hoodlums who probably wouldn't know real heavy metal if they were run over by the giant cat tank featured on the cover of Defenders of the Faith.
Soon original skinsman Jake "can’t-play-drums-for-shit" Roat was shall we say, "kicked out" of the band and replaced with Matthew Chalk. Under this astute disguise the band played several shows in 2006 with various bands including heavy metal nigels Lord.
In 2007 the band went incognito as the two original members wrote more songs, slowly moving away from their doomed beginnings and leaning towards rocking straight up heavy metal. In late 2007 Chalk was replaced with Tommy "Space Raven" Brockman. And in late 2008 Matt Orreal joined the lineup on second guitar, adding phenomenal might to the bands sound.
In 2009 the band finally plans to begin recording the songs they have been writing for the last 3 years, as well as dominate the live music scene.
Prey for your souls... here they are... Space Raven!
2006 Demo available free (plus postage haha). Full length to come soon I hope.
Hi Space Raven ... Thanks for the ADD! ... Resistance is Futile Earthling!!!
After a long journey from out home planet in the distant Omega Centauri Galaxy, The Del Sonics have arrived on Planet Earth to embark on our "World Domination Imminent" tour! Commencing in Brisbane, Australia, the run of dates will continue until total global power is achieved. The latest and most potent weapon in ouir arsenal is the new album release “Destination...Planet Rock!”. Eight rolled-gold total psych-out cuts, recorded in May 2009, showcase the cream of this intergalactic instro/prog/surf outfit.
Don’t be fooled by the wiggy song names – “(No One Likes A) Smart Arsed Robot”, “Funky Chikisho”, and the epic acid-trip of “Speak Cyborg…Or DIE!” – these are killer rock and roll tracks delivered by a band that’s been a sensation on the live circuit the past year.
The engine-room rhythm section of The Big Kahuna (bass) and Krank Daddy (drums) powers like the Starship Enterprise on steroids. Out the front directing traffic on Fender Mustang (and with NASA-grade guitar pedal technology at his feet) is Twang, the one-man tsunami!
Sounds like… hmmmm...The Ramones and The Ventures hanging out at Frank Zappa's beach house with John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and The Monkees. Later, Ritchie Blackmore and The Ronettes will drop in for fondue and bikini Twister!
It's surf music, Jim, but not as we know it........
Muchos L&K The Big Kahuna, KrankDaddy and Twang The Del Sonics

Hi Space Raven, we wanted all of our Myspace friends to know that Glenn Hughes Tickets are now on sale & selling fast. No major advertising has started yet so this is just a courtesy heads up to fans so they dont miss out... There are only 3 OZ shows in total & it could be an early sell out!
Some fans have also asked if they can meet Glenn, so we are thinking about Platinum Tix for an after show meet & greet. Please send us a msg via Myspace if you think you would be interested.
Have a great day & hope to see you at a gig in April! GH & Band.
