Ep. 229: Grave Mistake: SPACEHOG Shoulda Been Huge!!!

Episode Summary

This week we present another installment of our ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We’re talking about a 90’s band that most consider a 1 hit wonder alternative group. SPACEHOG is much more than most give them credit for. They were a unique band that carried the flag more for classic 70’s glam and power pop than alternative & grunge. If you are a fan of Bowie, Queen, Iggy Pop, or T.Rex, you owe it to yourself to listen to the SPACEHOG catalog. The countdown has begun, it’s 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and baby we’re a SPACEHOG!

What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This episode covers a band that is clearly in the Forgotten category for most (well, except for that one song). You may think you know them, but you probably don’t really know them… Until now. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new.

  1. Spacehog – “Cruel To Be Kind” from Resident Alien (1995)
  2. Spacehog – “The Horror” from The Craft (Music From The Motion Picture) (1996)
  3. Spacehog – “Goodbye Violet Race” from The Chinese Album (1998)
