Spaceheads
Biography
Spaceheads are a drum and trumpet duo consisting of percussionist Richard Harrison and trumpeter Andy Diagram. Their music is a curious mix of styles that is at times highly experimental and at other times quite reliable and groove-oriented. Their unique partnership was first formed in 1989, when Diagram and Harrison began to jam together after their rehearsals with other jazz bands in the Manchester area. They did the occasional concerts with one another, but nothing was that official quite yet. They recorded the Pay Me My Money Down EP the following year, a recording based in multi-tracking to create a huge brass section. The album sold out and they followed it up with the Ho! Fat Wallet full-length cassette by the end of the year. Although they continued to play with one another, they wouldn't appear live for the first time until 1993, where they utilized several brass loops to pull off the performances. They continued this way into the next year, where they had a much publicized appearance with Aphex Twin. Their first full-length CD, an eponymous album of various live and studio tracks, was released the following year and followed by a tour. They traveled through Europe and the United States throughout 1996, recording the Round the Outside album at various radio stations during the tour.

i'm surprised they don't list Drums and Tuba as a comparable artist. I have been a long time fan of D&T.
