Spiritualized

Amen to that BZA. That for me is the definitive version of Mr Soul. Like all the best music it blurs the lines of so many styles and takes you somewhere that few songs can. And Johnny Boy fantastic choice, thanks for posting. Roots is one of my favorite albums ever - I always feel sad when that trac...

Pat Thomas was incredible. I was lucky (for him :wink: ) to be sitting almost on his lap as its a smallish venue. Being able to watch a musician like that close up was amazing. He wasn't really playing the keys more coaxing sound out of them. Great big slabs of sound. Kid Millions was on fire. The m...

Going to wait until I step out for work this morning to blast my ears with this for the first time. From the reports so far it sounds like I'm in for a treat.

simonkeeping

Wow, what a great recording! Thanks for sharing. It sounds quite different to his normal solo shows doesn't it (not as fragile and delicate), it's really dirty and very reminiscent of Spacemen 3. Looking forward to the show in the 23rd at OTO. Should be a good night.

I first saw them at the Hammersmith Apollo back in 2001 I think? It was the LICD tour. I'd first heard them on a free cd given away with Select just prior to LAGWAFIS coming out. I still have the cd as I can't bear to part with it such was the impact it had on me. Hearing Electricity for the first t...

My only criticism is that is doesn't go on forever...

simonkeeping

I think sometimes the magic of Spiritualized is in the fact that it sounds so easy, but thats purely down to the fact that Jason is great song writer. Great music isn't based on how hard stuff is to play. Its based on how it touches you and makes you feel. I think 'I'm your man' is a really great so...

simonkeeping

Okay, so I went to this show with mixed feelings. Like JamesT I love the way Kevin bales plays. The old band had a way of locking into a song and, (well you all know) Just making it sound beautiful. This new sound was to my ears a bit lacking in dynamics, it was a bit flat and to be honest not as go...

Just arrived at the old bridge hotel. Anyone about?

Edit: in gonzo. A craft beer place just up from the nook. Good vibes here

simonkeeping

I'm staying at the old Bridge hotel which I think is literally across the road form the venue, Im hoping thats got a nice garden to sit in and enjoy a few beers. I'll be there from about 4ish. This one's crept on me up but what with by the new material being played, and the new band Im getting excit...

simonkeeping

Interesting thread. I think I'm firmly in 'they don't owe us anything' camp. For me rock and roll is am art form that defies explanation. You want to set your guitar on fire? Do it! You want to kick the shit out of your drums? Be my guest. Think of the music that simply wouldn't exist without people...

I'm in for this one. Coming up from London for it. Looking forward to seeing the 'new' band.

This is pretty cool. I'm not 100% on all the questions as they're on Mexican but you get the idea. He looks like he's having a great time too.

Check this photo out from the Portland (If I've got my dates right?). For me it sums up the Spiritualized live experience perfectly.

Saw this tonight. Nice to go to sleep knowing you are going to wake up with a smile on your face, Great movie. How was David Holmes not mentioned? Or did I miss that? He is who got me into Rodriguez years ago. Totally agree about David Holmes, was a little surprising to say the least? I guess it wa...

simonkeeping

Wow! So it's looking like he's sacked the band. I guess if the US band play the UK shows (and the Dublin LAGWAFIS) we'll know for sure right? I'll miss seeing them perform, they seemed to have developed this way of playing which created one combined sound rather than individuals playing together. Be...

I saw the show in Melbourne last Friday and It put bands half the age of Crazy Horse to shame. The noise they made was ferocious. Walk like a Giant ended with 10 minutes of of sludgy, feedback drenched guitar noise (think - You made me realise, but Neil Young). The sight of him leaning through the w...

Judging from the last few times Spz have played Primavera they've had a tough gig. J has smashed his guitar twice I think after being plaqued with bad sound. I think these dream line ups need to sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt. You favorite bands may be there but they'll be playing in less t...

This years line up is fucking ridiculous! As well as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Spiritualized and Grinderman reforming for a one off show. I may have to sell a lung.

They should definitely do a digital release before the end of the year. I think that would be awesome. Just get the fucker out there and then do a cd/vinyl release whenever the pressing is ready. I seem to remember reading that was the plan (a digi release). David Holmes was talking about it on twi...

Sounds like a great show. Real shame it looks like the tours over now as they really seem to be hitting their stride and playing some monumental shows. What was the last song like? More new songs

I got it from Dime Clewsr. I should have a chance tomorrow to upload it (if thats okay with the mods?). I do warn you it's insanely catchy, I can't get it out of my head.

I can't stop listening to 'Hear it Comes'. I think its not only an amazing song its also such a perfect way to start a show. "let's go as far as we can go" - Thats a statement of intent. It reminds me of Walking with Jesus but from a more adult perspective. Really beautiful anyway. Roll on...

Did anyone catch this on the BBC recently? I thought it was a little patchy. They skipped over Exile in about 5 minutes which was a real shame. Some great footage though off them in Nellcote though. One of the standout moments was definitely the band talking about Altamont, I'd seen some of it befor...

check the start of the Paris bootleg for what could maybe be an earlier version of "Here it comes". If Im right its a beautiful, Washington Phillips sounding track.

Wow, love the new version with the backing singers and immense wall of sound. Beautiful!

Sounds like it was a good night! Any more info?

That was the best Spz show I've seen in over a decade . I must admit to starting to think Jason had lost way with guitar noise but last night he well and truly found it - there were so many amazing moments of incredible guitar sound to enjoy. The torrent of raging sound was just incredible at times...

He sounds really hungry to do something dangerous. THAT is exciting news.

simonkeeping

Wow, New songs! I was expecting a similar set to the last leg of the tour.

And this:

Jason had a Sun Ra-esque keyboard solo at the end of get what you deserve. First time he's ever played keyboards on stage!?

Sounds like it was a good night!

Amazing news BZA! Congratulations!
Dion is the coolest name too. Nice one man!

Got my copy in the post a few days ago. It's a nice book! Jason's interview is from around the A+E era so it's taken David Todd a while to put the whole thing together. It's a good read though.

No, I missed out too. I have a feeling that show will be full of 45 year old blokes with Paul Weller haircuts talking about how 'Weller's the Man'. And that when SPZ come on most of them will probably be at the bar sadly.
