Space Elevator

Space Elevator

Eponymous first albums on their own labels certainly get the name across! Three members of the band were involved with the West End show, We Will Rock You and when that finally came to the end of its run, it was time to begin a new project and Space Elevator is exactly that. Guitarist David Young and vocalist ‘The Duchess’ wrote some fine songs together, and this album began to take shape. The Duchess was in Curved Air and brought the drummer along with her to complete the band. And what a band they are – this is hard-hitting commercial rock at its best, as the songs are really strong. Excellent production also plays its part, as does the bass work from Neil Murray, so no wonder Brian May likes this band so much. Young is a very talented guitarist and the cat-suited Duchess can really deliver a song. And since she’s such a dynamic performer, it’s well worth catching a live Space Elevator show.
