Pop-bots! Rockinauts! Bliptronix!

Zeroes and ones surf analogue waves of psychedelic space pop symphonics when Space Race, el Cid and The Hundred Thousand Fireflies light up the Hyde Park Hotel this Thursday night.

OK, so we lied.

We're just a band that can't say no.

After boldly announcing no more shows until March 08, SPACE RACE will take a day off recording to grace the stage at The Railway Hotel Freo on Jan 4th 08.
