Spaceship Days

The members of Spaceship Days have been together for a lifetime. Childhood friends and former collegiate swimmers Greg Torsone, Chuck Cox and Matt Mocharnuk, began their musical adventure in college playing in the Shoegaze band grey.

Together, the trio celebrated regional success, becoming a staple of NC college radio, playing shows in Austin TX during the South by Southwest Music Festival, and performing several opening gigs with some of the biggest national acts of the era. Unfortunately, as it often does, Life Happened and after recording three albums and half a dozen demos, the band members went their separate ways. Chuck went on tour with the regional powerhouse Fleshgear and Bluelight Karma. Matt became wildly prolific as a songwriter, penning tracks for pop vocalists across both oceans and several genres. Greg opened Afterglow Studios recording and producing albums for several emerging local artists. The three remained close while working on their respective projects, but it didn’t take them long to realize they made better music while together than apart. As it happened, their second beginning was nearly identical to the first. It was the summer of 2009. This time, the setting was a living room instead of a North Carolina State University dorm; the instruments were still acoustic, and the adult beverages were flowing a little less freely. What began as a Boys’ Movie Night ended in a wild, frenzy of songwriting. Try as they might to talk themselves out of it, Matt, Greg, and Chuck were a band again. Taking their name from a lyric in a Catherine Wheel song, Spaceship Days rode the wave from that first explosion of creativity recording most of their debut album “The Halo Effect” in six weeks. Armed with the fusion of chemistry, mature songwriting, and great production, Spaceship Days is a band for music fans of all ages. “The Halo Effect” will be available worldwide in 2010
