This week, for New Zealand Music Month, Ian Chapman celebrates one of New Zealand’s most loved but shortest-lived bands from the mid-1970s: Alastair Riddell’s Space Waltz.
From a #1 smash hit, 'Out On The Street’, to break up, they lasted less than two years.
Now, almost 50 years later, they have reformed and are re-releasing their iconic 1975 album.
Ian has written a new book about them: Alastair Riddell’s Space Waltz, and there's a brand new album ready to go - plus a nationwide tour.
Ian Chapman is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Music at Otago University.
