Spaceface is a psychedelic rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2011. Members include Jake Ingalls (formerly of The Flaming Lips), Matthew Strong (also a guitar tech for The Flaming Lips), Eric Martin, and Katie Pierce. Daniel Quinlan was a founding member, but left the band.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Ingalls, Strong, and Martin moved in together in 2011 and began making music soon after. In 2012, the band was rounded out by additional musical members, who run the group's light show, built from a "series of on and off switches, which runs off the side of the stage."[3] They began touring later that year. In 2014, they released their eponymous EP, Spaceface EP. Working in Ardent Studios in Memphis in 2015 led the band to release another EP, Live at Ardent Studios, that year. They have played at many music festivals across the United States, including Hangout Music Festival and South by Southwest.[4][5] On April 21, 2017, they released their first full-length album, Sun Kids.[1][6]
