As the autumn chill descends, a warm wave of nostalgia is set to envelop Strings Bar and Venue on the Isle of Wight.
Next Friday (20th October) the air will reverberate with the edgy pop tunes of the 90’s iconic band Space, as they step onto the Strings stage once again.
A stellar return
The much-anticipated event comes after last year’s sold-out show which left the audience yearning for more.
Space is returning to Strings as part of their 25th-anniversary tour, a momentous occasion marking a quarter century since the release of their groundbreaking albums ‘Spiders’ and ‘Tin Planet’.
Glistening legacy
Throughout their illustrious career, Space has enchanted the global music scene. The band boasts over five million records sold worldwide, a testament to their enduring appeal.
Their unique brand of gritty, imaginative pop has not only stood the test of time, but continues to captivate new and old listeners alike.
Double platinum celebrations
Both ‘Spiders’ and ‘Tin Planet’ were awarded double platinum disc status by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
The re-release of these albums last year has reignited the flame of Space’s legacy, propelling them on a tour to celebrate the 25th anniversaries of the records’ first release in the UK.
Fresh beats, familiar echoes
Adding a fresh zest to the evening, new local band ‘Mouth’ is billed to support Space.
After making a splash at EarsPeeled’s ‘Ventnor Fringe gig earlier this year, ‘Mouth’ has become a hot local topic, promising an invigorating performance ahead of Space’s act.
A night of retro reverie
With the rich tapestry of sounds from the past and the present, the night promises a vibrant celebration of music that transcends generations.
The return of Space, coupled with the fresh talent of ‘Mouth’, is a melodious invitation to relive the iconic 90s, promising a night filled with rhythm, reminiscence, and revelry.
Come and embrace the retro vibes as Space and ‘Mouth’ unite to create an unforgettable musical spectacle.
