Liverpool indie band formed in 1993, consisting of Tommy Scott (vocals), Franny Griffith (keyboards), Leon Caffrey (drums), Dave "Yorkie" Palmer (bass) and Stephen Lironi (guitar, keyboard and replacement for drop-out Jamie Murphy). Their music is best described as alternative soft rock with synthesizers being the dominant instrument in tunes; one reviewer describes it as bubblegum techno.

Space is best known hits include The Ballard of Tom Jones, released in 1998 with Welsh wailer Cerys Matthews, and The Female of the Species, released in 1996. They were nominated in 1997 for best newcomer award at the Brits, losing out to Kula Shaker.
