Top New Zealand rock artists. Space Waltz, will tour the NZSAC campus circuit this month. The group, led by Alastair Ri-ddell, will perform in the six university centres. Space Waltz are the first New Zealand exponents of 'glamour rock'. Their performances include elaborate and complex lighting and sound effects. The tour party, travelling with two tons of equipment, numbers ten.
Space Waltz was formerly a federation of musicians complementing the songwriting and performing talents of Alastair Riddell. The hit single, 'Out On The Street', was entered into Studio One's New Faces. Alastair Riddell and Space Waltz became household names. Since then the group has become a permanent unit, recording one of the highest selling LP records in New Zealand's recording history. Space Waltz has also completed two major tours of New Zealand towns and cities.
