The Space Twins have a sound and musical style that is very uniquely theirs. From the trance-like feel of "Rust Colored Sun" to the high energy testosterone of "Yellow Camaro," the Space Twins succeed in creating a texture and depth to their songs that draws you in and takes you on an auditory ride. This band is not afraid to experiment with instruments or song styles, as is evident by their debut album "The End of Imagining." This album is the band's first full length recording released independently by the bands own label, Raga Drop Records.
The Space Twins have a long history that goes back to childhood. Brian Bell (lead vocals, guitar), Glenn Maloof (guitar), and Tim Maloof (bass, vocals) met at the age of 14 in Knoxville Tennessee. The three were drawn together by their love of music. They honed their early musical skills by practicing in the Maloof’s basement while writing some of their own original songs. When they were old enough to fly the coop Brian left Knoxville and headed straight for Los Angeles. Tim and Glenn later followed.
While making his way through the LA music scene Brian was asked to join the rock quartet, Weezer. He accepted and soon after began touring. During his off time, Brian continued to work on his own music and hoped that his two friends would soon join him. It was before joining Weezer that Brian formulated the idea and the name for Space Twins. The spacey, non-generic, uninhibited style, which was completed in 1996 when Tim and Glenn took up permanent residence in Los Angeles. In less than a week the three had converted Glenn’s garage into a rehearsal space and picked up right where they had left off. Brian recruited his friend Mike Elliot (drums), who he had met eight years prior while working at record store on Hollywood Blvd., and now the band was finally complete.
The Space Twins got their feet wet by releasing two seven inch recordings in a limited amount which sold out quickly and are currently out of print. They featured "Osaka Aquabus" inspired by Brian’s recent visit to Japan, "TV, Music & Candy", and the softly yearning "Goddess of Love." The much anticipated, "The End of Imagining" is a labor of love for the band and their fans that have been as eager to receive the album as the band has been to present it. The Space Twins showcased songs featured on this album at the 2003 SXSW music festival and plan to tour the west coast throughout the year.
