Spiritualized

Death Valley Girls, Bodega Nottingham

A bit of mid-week Psych/Witchcraft/Goth fun

Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Bedford Esquires I'd describe the aesthetic as where brutalist architecture meets 1970's Public Information Films about not playing in electricity substations meets Protect and Survive. Lovely stuff. And a 'not loud' gig, which is sometimes appreciated...

So they really did sell out on the day then? Oh well, good for Sonic. Enjoy the show!

Thanks for the heads-up. That's a bummer Sunny. Curiously, having looked at the Coventry date, there's an early show and late show. I wonder if they'll be the same set? https://allevents.in/coventry/panda-bear-and-sonic-boom/200023920427138 It's being recorded and live streamed. Waaah?? They're sho...

£19.99 + £3.50 UK shipping from the Spiritualized bandcamp page, includes download Still over £20 for a 12" single. Nuts. I regret not buying the Anyway That You Want Me remixes at the time (probably £3 or so back then!), and now I can't seem to find that anywhere, but it sounds like these are...

I have also only just realised that the front cover spells Reset. I had just seen some coloured shapes with random black dots up 'til now

Same here, d'oh!

Just had a mailer from Fuzz Club including a promo for a new film called Trip. Includes this blurb, and the emphasis is mine: The film features live performances and intimate behind the scenes footage of bands and musicians from the U.S, U.K, Iceland, Europe and South Africa. Experience the garage ...

Spiby

Just wondering if anyone knows who the members of the live band are currently? Just read that the 3 gospel singers are: Jenna Byrd Desiree Gillespie and Sha’Leah Nikole Stubblefield From this article, though "Shine a Light" is noted as "She's a Light" ☺️ https://illinoisentertai...

I don't get out to gigs anywhere as near as often as I'd like, but I actually managed 3 gigs in 3 days recently. Quite an eclectic mix... Max Richter (Chelsea Royal Hospital) 17th June. Performed Voices with the Chineke Orchestra (conducted by my business partner's son, woop woop!) followed by Recom...

Spz added "Let It Bleed" to the youtube channel, looks in the vein of "I'm Coming Home Again"; I haven't watched it yet because my roommate is KO'ed and I'm considerate like that: https://youtu.be/1ywy95_iTsc If Kev was any more laid back, he'd fall off his stool. Love him. Grea...

Never thought i'd see a bunch of fat, bald, middle-aged men described as fascinating! Very few young folks at Spiritualized gigs these days. Very few young folks, and quite a lot I would say were older than me - in their 60's (Mrs S included :)). And not just men (...er Mrs S included :lol:). Looki...

Spiby

seen loads in there but And You Know Us By The Trail Of Dead twice and BJM twice, DKT are the ones that immediately spring to mind. great great times. what year was Spiritualized? I had to google it - 16th March 2012. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/spiritualized/2012/rescue-rooms-nottingham-england...

Spiby

the Rescue Rooms is such a great venue. it would be a very intense Spiritualized hit in there for sure.

I saw Django Django in there. I wasn't expecting much, but was blown away. Spiritualized were there a couple of weeks later, but when I went to book, they were sold out. Bah!

Spiby

Hey dude! I'm not yet 50! But yeah fantastic show for me and I saw them alot in the '90's. I was worried about how it was going to go but actually liked the slickness of it and I've had my doubts about his newer bands for a while; since I last saw them live a decade or so ago but last night really ...

Spiby

Glad to hear you enjoyed it SpEnCeR. I feel like I'm going against the grain a bit enjoying these gigs so much. I felt last night was just as good as Brighton (which I thought was fantastic). I personally feel the setlist is a great spread of songs and balance of dynamics. I do miss the extended wig...

Spiby

Here are my thoughts from last night, in no particular order: - I loved it. My 17th time seeing Spiritualized, the most I’ve seen any act by far. ... I hope everyone else enjoyed the show too. I also hope there’s another tour coming soon, with a more varied setlist. But 2 hours of my favourite act ...

Spiby

Shows were played in Belfast and Glasgow after ANH too, but yeah very few UK shows all in. Ah yes, forgot about those two shows. I remember at the time thinking there was bound to be a string of smaller dates after the Apollo gig, and very nearly didn't bother going. I was then very surprised and d...

Spiby

Although there were a fair few songs from ANH, to be fair the only show they'd done in the UK since the release of ANH was the Apollo show in 2018 (and possibly Blue Dot?). So anyone who hadn't had the opportunity to go to those shows would have nearly 4 years worth of pent up ANH desire

Spiby

I guess different strokes for different folks, because I really liked the balance of the set list. I was a liitle bit wary of how it would work, having been aware of what the set list would be from the previous shows. I took a newbie with me who I've been pestering to go and see them for over 30 yea...

Spiby

While we're crediting musicians, a big shout out for James Stelfox whose bass playing at Brighton last night was outstanding. All round great gig - fantastic strobes!

Spiby

Thanks for this. I was very tempted to head down from Rugby myself last night but decided to be patient, as I'll be seeing them in Brighton on Saturday and then at Nottingham. Which other dates are you going to? I spotted the set list went up on setlist.fm late yesterday evening https://www.setlist....

Spiby

Can someone please do me a favor and Shazam the songs that play over the PA before Spiritualized go up? I wish I had Shazammed one of the earlier songs, and it’s driving me crazy not knowing what it is. These are the songs I tagged on the final date of their US West Coast tour. Neu - E-Musik Common...

Went for CD version myself (always guaranteed a good pressing that way ;) Man, the credits alone are always a good thing to geek out on in Spiritualized albums. All the various people J thanks and the contributors. Yep, went for the CD too for the same reason. The braille on the cover was a nice to...

Spiby

I've waited this long that I've allowed myself to listen to the stream on Spotify and if the CD turns up today then that's a bonus.

Just got to Best Thing You Never Had. Wowzers!

Loving it.

Spiby

I always find it hard to believe that the album didn't come out until 1992. As old(er) age is showing us, time really did go by slower when we were younger and I do remember it seeming to take an age between the first Spiritulaized gig I went to (Burberries, Birmingham summer(?) 1990) and the album ...

Spiby

I wonder what songs 14 and 16 were? And does anybody know what the lineup was?

Electricity->Shine A Light, nice combo!

Anyway, isn't it just a wonderful relief that they're back on the road? Roll on Brighton!

Spiby

Having finally got around to listening to this (I could only bear about 20 mins of it when I was listening to the start of the show live) - yeah, we didn't really learn anything new, but Jason came across as very chipper and chatty, which was lovely

Spiby

I'm really conflicted. I want to hear the album, but I'd rather wait until I have the physical release in my hand. Having heard Amazing Grace when it leaked, it's never really registered as a 'proper' album for me, even though I bought the CD when it was eventually released. I've considered having ...

Looks like Spiritualized are billed for Friday

Spiby

Has anyone been thinking about what songs they'd like to hear on the upcoming gigs? Given that EWB is 7 songs and 45 minutes long, is it likely that they will play it in full as they did with ANH? What do you think? Here's some of the stuff that's already been released that I'd like to hear. 1. Com...

Spiby

Having had a day with it, I have to say (for me) it's a real grower and is a fine realisation of his previous country ballads. Lovely stuff.

I think the "...subtle ‘Crazy’, a lilting country-blues love song..." in the Shindig interview above pretty much sums it up. Reminds me of Gram Parsons, and fits in with the aesthetics of the I'm Your Man video.

Spiby

Had a read of the Shindig interview, not much in it really. It gave the impression of been cobbled together from interviews over the past thirty years. Very little new info on Everything Was Beautiful, other than his favourite part of the whole album is during Crazy. That's annoying then, as I spla...

Bringing it bang up to date, I do find the "If you want a unicorn, I would be a unicorn for you" line in Always Together With You rather amusing

Got tickets for Manchester, and looking forward to taking my 10 year old for what will be his first gig.

Ah, interesting. Yes it would be good to know how much actually makes it to the artist.

Spiby

Not sure if this is the right place, so mods feel free to move / remove. And I don't want to hijack all of the new album talk. I know a lot of us buy merch etc. in order to support Jason and fund the ongoing existence of Spiritualized. I've gone past being an obsessive completeist, so I will sometim...

Spiby

well, I was dithering about where to go and what seat to get etc, but turns out my friend got a spare for me at Birmingham Symphony Hall presale. great seats as well. I'm also a firm believer that Spiritualized are much better later on in a tour when they've had a chance to grease the wheels and ge...

Bought 7 tickets for Nottingham Tier 1 above the sound desk (was tempted to go for a box, but not sure that the sound would be great there). And 3 tickets for Brighton. Feels a long way off now. It makes me hark back to the days of £4 tickets and we'd try and get to 4 or 5 shows, which would have be...

Why, after 30+ years of doing this, do I still get SO EXCITED when news of a new album / tour appears? I'm glad I do though!

The man was a legend, in the true sense of the word

Spiby

So just over a week ago I had the absolute pleasure of seeing them live in the Edinburgh Playhouse. What a gig! First live music in 19 months - it surely felt a lot longer that that. It was beautiful, intense, very emotional and pretty much amazing. I’m glad that Nick and Warren were able to have a...

Spiby

I would've thought standard tour dates must make money. I was also fully expecting a UK tour after the Apollo show, but at the last minute decided I'd go to the Apollo anyway. So glad I did. And frustrated to see that North America then got a full tour. Fingers crossed for a new album and supporting...

I can only think the interviewer misheard. Otherwise... huh?

Spiby

"Good Times," which is the last track on side C of Pure Phase , has the most atrocious inner groove distortion I have ever heard throughout about the last 30 seconds of the song. I can't believe the engineer who cut this was ok with that. It sounds terrible. I have tried three copies of t...

Spiby

By the way, want to know how time flies, and how timeless Pure Phase remains? The gap between its release and today is the same (26 years) as the gap between the release of The Beatles' Abbey Road and that of PP... That certainly puts it into perspective! It's funny how you think about these things...

in terms of the glitch, I was talking about the CD glitch back in the day on the original LGM. no idea what glitches are or aren't there now! And day to day Spotify is just so convenient. If I'm really 'listening' to an album, I'll defer to the CD. And vinyl would probably just have been a first li...

Spiby

see I would say that all those issues are why CDs are better.. but the initial CD did have that glitch as well! I'd agree that that german site looks legit, but why not wait until the official announcement anyway? if LGM was announced in Feb for Apr release, then the PP announcement shouldn't be to...

My turntable has been out of action for some years, so most of my listening is via Spotify these days, which means my S3 vinyl rarely gets a listen. It was nice to have SOC, PP, PWIF etc. appear on Spotify recently (although I'd rather it was out of G Palmer's sticky mitts), and today I discovered t...

"Holy thread resurrection, Batman!"

Nice to see that Spiritualized have finally made someone's choice on the 'real' Desert Island Discs, with Samantha Morton's choice of LAGWAFIS yesterday.

I believe this is the first time they've been selected, but I could be wrong.

Spiby

Hmm, just been listening to it on Spotify, and other than the previously released tracks, all the other tracks play back at the wrong speed. I listened to the whole of 'Spinning Coins...' like this, thinking it was an amazing drone, reading reviews and wondering how the reviewers were able to work ...
