Artist History Space Nelson have been gigging and recording seriously since forming in 1996. With high-energy live performances and attention to musical detail, the band has made a name for itself around the Detroit music scene. Since the release of "Cutting Edge Pinball" in 1997, Space Nelson has been featured on several major Detroit radio stations including 89X, WKRK, and Alice 106.7, and has been receiving airplay on many college stations throughout the Midwest. In mid 1999, the band released its second LP "Slackjawed," which included two new studio tracks, and captured the band's powerful live sound. In the summer of 2001, the band was once again in the studio recording their "Moonman" demo CD at Detroit's nationally recognized MPA Studios (formerly Pearl Sound). In the summers of 2000 and 2001, the band was twice selected by the Ernie Ball Company to represent the Detroit music scene at the Vans Warped Tour stops in Michigan. Also in the summer of 2001, Space Nelson earned an opening spot for A Flock of Seagulls by winning the listener polled Battle of the Bands competition held on Detroit's Alice 106.7.
