Spacehog Resident Alien CD (1995)
Royston Langdon albums
 $10.49   
However, Spacehog goes far beyond just retro appeal, partly because of their refusal to take themselves seriously. Spacehog enjoys this kind of melodramatic posing, both in their lyrics and in their music, but they don't lose track of a song's dynamics, and their strong sense of timing lends a sharp edge to each track, never allowing its essence to get lost in the zealous glitter.
British but based in New York, Spacehog's publicity material would have you believe the group resurrects the glam heyday of vintage Bowie and Mott the Hoople (even disingeniously referring to them as "the band who fell to earth"). Even their most hostile, snarling lyrics are bursting with wit, and the glittery surface of their music is simply the slick icing on top of a substantial cake made of gritty, rocking guitar and solid drum work.
The icing includes Royston Langdon's theatrical vocals and strutting, stylish songwriting, which includes tongue-in-cheek lyrics like "So if you raise a glass/To love you passed/Raise a glass to me" (from "Shipwrecked"). All songs written or co-written by Antony Langdon and/or Royston Langdon.
There's no denying the strong influence of '70's glam rockers like David Bowie and T. A few songs, like "Starside," sound uncannily like early Bowie, complete with spaceship sound effects. Rex on RESIDENT ALIEN.

Evan Dando Baby I'm Bored CD (2003)

It's no coincidence that the cover art for BABY I'M BORED mimics that of the Lemonheads' punky debut, HATE YOUR FRIENDS. Coming after several years in the wilderness, Evan Dando's first album under his own name, and his first release

Bill Ricchini Tonight I Burn Brightly CD (2005)
Royston Langdon discography
$10.05
Bill Ricchini's debut album Ordinary Time was a very nice bedroom pop record, full of hooks, interesting arrangements and melancholy, winter-tinged songs. For his second album, Tonight I Burn Brightly, he leaves the mid-fi record behind and hits the studio
