From last fm, and last edited in March 2006 by a member of the band:-

Spacehopper were a four piece band started in Glasgow in 1990.

Dave Spacehopper – guitar/vocals.
Sarah Spacehopper – guitar
Dave Bass – Bass
Bryn(me) – Drums

Punk rock art noise terror.

We were looking to scare as well as entertain.

We were into all sorts KLF, Dead Kennedys, Young Gods – you get the idea.

Released a couple of singles through Creeping Bent records based in Glasgow. Milk metal (creepingbent 001) and a joint single with the Secret Goldfish – Mars Bonding/Venus Bonding.

The singer David then moved to Denmark and that was that.

I’ve a copy of said joint single, and so here’s one half of it.

mp3: Spacehopper – Mars Bonding

I had no idea that Spacehopper had been responsible for the first record issued by Creeping Bent back in 1995.  Turns out it was a four-track EP released on 10″ vinyl.   I’ve also been able to find out, that the real names of the band members were David Aitcheson, Sarah Headman, David Fitzpatrick and Bryn Thorburn.
