* [[ThePeteBest Jamie Island]] - drums (1992-93)

* Tommy Scott - vocals, bass guitar (1993-1997), guitar (1997-)
* Jamie Murphy - vocals, guitar (1993-2001, [[TheBusCameBack 2011-2012, 2023-present]])

* Andy Parle - drums (1993-1997)

* RevolvingDoorBand: Tommy is the only member of Space who has remained in the band since their formation in 1993 as well as their 2011 reunion, with Franny who, despite not being a founding member, being second-longest serving member (even if you count the pre-Space bands Hello Sunset and The Australians, which both Tommy and Franny played in). Every album the band has recorded so far has been with a slightly altered line-up.

* TitleTrack: 'Love You More Than Football', 'Suburban Rock n'n Roll', 'Attack Of The Mutant 50ft Kebab' and 'Give Me Your Future'. Averted by 'Spiders', which is a B-side on 'Me & You Vs The World' (and appears on the original 'Neighbourhood' and ''Invasion Of The Spiders'' as 'Turn Me On To Spiders').

* PeekABangs: Franny, in the 'Female Of The Species' and 'Me & You Vs The World' videos.

* CoolOldGuy: Yorkie. And these days, Tommy and Franny would definitely qualify.

* CarefulWithThatAxe: 'Armageddon'. There's also a rather muffled one on "Shut Your Mouth".

In 2011, the band announced they would be BackFromTheDead to record a brand new album ''Attack of the Mutant 50ft Kebab'', albeit without Yorkie and Leon, and with a new drummer, bassist and additional keyboardist.

In 2019, ''Love You More than Football'' [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell was finally released]] as part of a career-spanning ''Anthology'' set, almost two decades since the project was abandoned.

** The live version of 'Charlie M' starts with a sample of the 'ooga chaka' chant from Blue Swede's 'Hooked On A Feeling', which Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy fans might recognise. A slower, slightly distorted version of the chant appears in the album version.

* Jamie Murphy - vocals, guitar (1993-2001, [[TheBusCameBack 2011-2012]])

The band started off as a trio consisting of Tommy Scott, Jamie Murphy and Andy Parle in 1993, with Franny Griffiths, who had previously played in bands with Tommy back in the mid-1980s, joining a year later; his keyboards and samplers were what gave the band their distinct sound. The band became a quartet when David 'Yorkie' Palmer, a long-time friend of the band who produced some of their earlier material, joined as bassist, allowing Tommy to concentrate more on vocals. Andy left the band at the end of 1997, and was swiftly replaced by Leon Caffrey.

* RefrainFromAssuming: a minor example, but despite reviews claiming otherwise, no, Franny does not play the {{Theremin}} on "Avenging Angels" or any other song with the trademark wailing keyboard noises. He stated in an interview with the ''NME'' in 1998 that he dislikes the instrument because 'you have to wave your hands around like a twat'.

* NiceHat: the fez sported by Ryan in the 'Fortune Teller' video, and at most of their gigs. Tommy and Franny have been sporting these since late 2015.

* TheMasochismTango / SlapSlapKiss: taken UpToEleven with 'The Ballad Of Tom Jones', and even more so in the video, where Tommy and Cerys are on a car on top of a cliff, with her forcing him ever close to the edge. The characters in the song are constantly trying to torture and kill each other, and the only thing that prevents either of them from murdering the other is the music of the titular Welsh crooner.

* ShrinkingViolet: "She's the Girl the Summer Misses the Most" takes this UpToEleven: the lead character is so shy that she's literally vanishing from her own photos.

* InTheStyleOf: Because of their genre-hopping approach, several Space songs tend to emulate the styles of other musicians. For example, the middle eight in "Avenging Angels" is a homage to Creator/MarleneDietrich, "Straight Line" from ''Music for Aliens'' was inspired by German experimental rock group Music/{{Can}}, whilst "Pretty Suicide" is a tribute to, well, Music/{{Suicide}}.

* ''{{Music/Spiders}}'' (1996)

* ''[[Music/SuburbanRockNRoll Suburban Rock 'n' Roll]]'' (2004)

Jamie Murphy left in 2001, and the band called it a day four years later, after releasing one final album ''[[Music/SuburbanRockNRoll Suburban Rock 'n' Roll]]''. Afterwards, Jamie and Franny formed a band called Dust with three others; Leon has moved to Australia; Tommy fronted the Drellas and Tommy Scott & The Red Scare; Franny and Yorkie worked with other bands, and on solo material; and Andy Parle died in 2009. It was meeting up at his funeral that inspired the three original members to reunite the band.

* ''Suburban Rock 'n' Roll'' (2004)

* MohsScaleOfLyricalHardness: varies based on the album. ''Spiders'' is a 4-6, ''Tin Planet'', ''Love You More Than Football'' and ''Give Me Your Future'' are each between 2-4, ''Suburban Rock 'n' Roll'' ranges from a 5-''7'' and ''Attack Of The Mutant 50ft Kebab'' is a 5-6. ''Music for Pleasure Music for Pain'' reaches a 7 for containing more profane language, becoming the first Space album to come with a parental advisory warning.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: again, varies depending on the album. ''Spiders'' and ''Suburban Rock 'n' Roll'' are 4, ''Tin Planet'' and ''Love You More Than Football'' are mainly 1-2, and ''Attack of the Mutant 50ft Kebab'', Space's punkiest and arguably heaviest album, verges on 5. ''Give Me Your Future'' is shaping up to be a 3, due to being more influenced by SynthPop.

* [[TheHero Tommy]] [[TeamDad Scott]] - vocals, bass guitar (1993-1997), guitar (1997-)
* [[TheLancer Jamie]] [[FieryRedhead Murphy]] - vocals, guitar (1993-2001, [[TheBusCameBack 2011-2012]])
* [[TheBigGuy Franny]] [[TeamMom Griffiths]] - keyboards (1994-)
* [[TheQuietOne Andy Parle]] - drums (1993-1997)
* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Yorkie]] - bass guitar (1997-2005)
* [[SixthRanger Leon Caffrey]] - drums (1997-2005)
* [[TheLancer Phil]] [[BadassBeard Hartley]] - bass (2011-)
* [[TheChick Ryan]] [[TagalongKid Clarke]] - vintage keys (2011-2014)
* [[TheSmartGuy Allan]] [[TallDarkAndSnarky Jones]] - drums (2011-)

* BerserkButton: the Hillsborough Disaster. The band played the Hillsborough Justice Concert in 1997 and are long-time supporters of the Justice For The 96 Campaign. ''Never'' joke about it in front of Franny or Jamie. ItsPersonal, especially for Franny as he is a Hillsborough survivor (and defending Margaret Thatcher will make him very, very angry).

* BadassMustache: Franny sported one during the 2013 spring tour, leading to Creator/DannyTrejo comparisons from Tommy. Tommy himself has started displaying facial fuzz due to a music video that made him look '96 years old'. Phil had a long, plaited BadassBeard during the ''Kebab'' years.
