Space were an indie rock band from Liverpool, England, who came to prominence in the mid-1990s with hit singles such as "Female of the Species", "Neighbourhood" and "Avenging Angels". The basis of their sound has inspirations from late 1960s-early 1970s rock groups mixed with black humoured lyrics and peculiar vocal/music samples (see musical style).

Until their break-up in 2005, the line-up of Space had been composed of:

Thomas "Tommy" Scott - lead vocals, guitars (1993-2005)
Francis "Franny" Griffiths - keyboards and various electronic instruments, backing vocals (1995-2005)
David "Yorkie" Palmer - bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals (1996-2005)
Leon Caffrey - drums (1998-2005)
Previous members of Space:

Jamie Murphy - lead guitar, lead & backing vocals (1993-2002)
Andy Parle - drums (1993-1998)

Scott (then bass player), Murphy and Parle formed Space in 1993 and aimed for a Who-influenced sound. After Griffiths - an old friend and former member of Scott's earliest group The Australians - joined them on keyboards a year later, they secured a record deal with Gut Records who released their first single proper "Neighbourhood"' in 1996. The subsequent release of their next single, "Female of the Species", provided much popular acclaim. This song was also the theme song to the UK television series Cold Feet.

Their debut album Spiders, released in September 1996, enjoyed moderate success and went platinum in the UK. "Female of the Species" also gained moderate airplay on college radio and MTV in America as well. The line-up increased with the addition of bassist/multi-instrumentalist Yorkie - who started working with the band years before their success with Spiders - in late 1996, so that Scott could concentrate more on vocals and guitar.
