The first and original members of Watch this Space have been persevering for nearly four years, the trio are Jacob Searle, Josh Page, and Tom Taylor. The three started rehearsing in the community hall in Rough common and Jacobs garage and are now performing in numerous venues across Kent.
Their first gig was performed in Rough Common Hall supporting a band called Vincent Filth.
The three then become four in the beginning of 2008 when Toby Holden joined them as their new lead singer. In 2008 Watch this Space started hitting the loacl music scene in Kent first performing in the Down Town Dinner in Ashford, they become popular and starting gaining more gigs in and around Canterbury. Watch this Space then became a 5 membered band when Mike Malyon joined as their lead guitarist. Watch this Space became Orangespine just a few months ago and deffinatly havnt lost their fan base with the change. The guys are currently pursuing there ambition of performing at the Canterbury music festival Lounge on the farm's main stage. Now gigging around Kent, the current members of Orangespine are Max Saunders, Lead Vocals, Jacob Searle, Rhythum Guitar, Josh Page, Bass Guitar Mike Malyon, lead Guitarist and Tom Taylor, Drums.

Josh, Orangespines Bass guitarist agreed to be interviewed.
Carolyn - Do you have nicknames for eachother?
Josh - we often call tom Mr.Grumpy from Mr.Men cos he has a t-shirt of that character that he wears a lot and is often very grumpy, for the rest of us not really no
C - Why change the bands name? Weren't you afraid this would lose you the network you had spent so long building?
J - Watch this space was never a name that we planned to keep forever, it was more a name we landed on cos we needed a name, as time wore on it occurred to us that this name was very unprofessional and we felt we needed a name was unique.
C - Who are the bands main influences?
J - The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Incubus,Smashing Pumpkins, Paramore and Athlete.
C - Where do you see the band in 5 years time?
J - I think if we really work hard we could possibly be at least playing Reading and will have at least 2-3 full length albums out, that might be a little ambitious but something that has always been very high in this band is our self belief, something that we have got from each other, ourselves and our friends and family.

C - Thank you Josh.
J - Thank very much
