THE BOY FROM SPACE FACT FILE

*

The Boy From Space landed in a pub in Salisbury. Brothers Marshall Ward and Frant realised no one was going to record the music they wanted to hear.

Their first recordings were funded from the winnings of a local pub Pop Quiz!

The first album – ‘London Paris Tokyo Space’ was produced by legendary English producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn, Dandy Warhols).
