Space Raiders (band)

Space Raiders (band)

Space Raiders were a big beat/electronic glam band from Middlesbrough in the north-east of England. They formed in 1997, making their debut at the Middlesbrough Arena on Halloween 1997. Their performance consisted of little more than the members of the band kitted out in fancy dress dancing to a prerecorded Digital Audio Tape.

Despite this humble start, the band were signed to Fatboy Slim's Skint Records in Brighton and released their debut single "Glam Raid" in early 1998. The band went on to release their debut album, called "Don't be Daft" and a second album named "Hot Cakes".

The band are probably best know for the single; "(I need the) Disko Doktor". "Laidback" also received airplay on cable music rotation channels.

Name

It is claimed that the inspiration for the name "Space raiders" came from an empty Space Raiders crisp packet that blew through Gary Bradford's front door in Middlesbrough.Fact|date=December 2007
