Just announces, playing at Brudenell in Leeds on 25th September. Tickets from jumbo records

James T · Post by **James T** » Wed May 06, 2015 11:14 am

Nearly £30! Still, I'll be there.

Post by **runcible** » Wed May 06, 2015 12:13 pm

Tickets bought. What a treat...

Lots of forumites coming?

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Wed May 06, 2015 12:59 pm

festival warm up rather than part of a wider UK tour I assume?

Post by **runcible** » Wed May 06, 2015 2:04 pm

Yeah looks like it. Whatever - no other sound system I know of in the UK would handle then better.

Psyche Fest is on 25th and 26th. This tells us that Jason and Co are playing on 26th. I wonder if The Heads are the 'headline' (sorry about that) on the first night. Sadly, I can't make the Brudenell date.

Going with a friend from Japan!

I'll be at the Canada vs Italy match.

Think about booking your hotel now. Rugby World Cup matches the following 2 days. So could be busier than usual.

Friday night....Hmmmm that could work..

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Wed May 06, 2015 6:31 pm

nice spot with the date there Olan.
If i wasn't going to the psych fest i'd be all over this.

never been to the Brudenell before- as an aside I was watching some Viet Cong live footage the other day and the drummer was wearing one of their T shirts!

I'm there. Apparently tickets are selling fast. Thanks for the heads-up on hotels and rugby. Won't they also do a Glasto warm-up?

Last time it was at the Concord 2 in Brighton. Great gig, iffy venue, noisy chatty crowd.

Jasonsmith · Post by **Jasonsmith** » Thu May 07, 2015 7:26 am

Now sold out! I expect there'll be a lot of love for J from all the forumites there. Bring it on!

Wow, that was fast. What is the capacity?

Should be amazing.

Thanks to Jake Cardigan for making us aware of this, not a peep from the "official" SPZ sources...is there any news on the new website, or was this just the change of URL?

Post by **runcible** » Thu May 07, 2015 8:59 am

400.

Thanks!

So it will be quite intimate. Which is nice. Really looking forward to this gig.

Must admit that even though I will see them the next night at the Psych fest, I'm a bit disappointed to be missing this gig..

At least you're getting to see them! I couldn't go to Holmfirth and couldn't do this either, even if there were tickets left

Should be a nice gig - the Brudenell has a really good reputation for sound. I see from SSE's site they've now upgraded FOH to a Midas Pro2, which despite having a frustratingly convoluted workflow, is the nicest sounding desk this side of six figures!

Post by **spzretent** » Thu May 07, 2015 3:37 pm

Accomodations sorted.
Now for the flight........

BVCP206 · Post by **BVCP206** » Thu May 07, 2015 9:36 pm

There'll be more board members than at The Picturedrome

Very giddy

James T · Post by **James T** » Fri May 08, 2015 12:15 am

Sold out but hopefully I can work something out. Love the venue.

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Wed May 13, 2015 3:37 pm

Missed out, I didnt realise it was only 400 capacity. If anyone has a spare I'll gladly take it off your hands.
cheers

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Sun May 24, 2015 6:59 am

Oh FFS!

Completely missed this. My own fault as I've not been on here for a few weeks. If anyone ends up with a spare ticket I'll have it.

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Tue Jun 02, 2015 2:21 pm

Does anyone who if there's likely to be any touts selling outside? Or if there's any way of getting hold of a tickey? It's a long way to come up from London to sit in a carpark. cheers!

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Tue Jun 02, 2015 2:34 pm

I've emailed Brudenell to ask about getting in on the night or finding out if there's been any returns, but so far I've heard nothing back from them.

Jasonsmith · Post by **Jasonsmith** » Wed Jun 03, 2015 6:51 am

I'm in the market for a spare Ticket too, I'm sorted but my other half will be coming over for the weekend. If you have a last minute cancellation I'll be happy to give you face value.

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Tue Aug 25, 2015 1:35 pm

Still desperately seeking a ticket if anyone has one that's now surplus.

Post by **MODLAB** » Wed Sep 16, 2015 3:01 pm

Almost a week to go.

Coming into town around lunchtime and going to a nice comfortable pub with good beer.

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 6:21 pm

I am the bringer of good tidings.

I managed to get hold of a couple of tickets so have a spare. If any one wants it PM me.

Post by **MODLAB** » Sun Sep 20, 2015 6:30 pm

I will have an extra also! PM me please.

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 1:09 pm

I'm not in Leeds until about 7 on Friday.. Seems like a good forum contingent wil be out in forse too which is cool.
Whats the plan?

Post by **runcible** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 1:44 pm

Get to the gig fairly early and enjoy the range of beer in the bar area which is a different room to where the gig is. Nice vibe in there.

Who is coming along? I know of you Simon, Mark Modlab, Bza, Alan spzretent, Rameses, BVCP206, me... Who else? You coming James?

It's only 4 days away now - quite exciting!

Post by **MODLAB** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 1:45 pm

I'm bringing Shu from Tokyo who is visiting me. He's part of the SPZ crew in Tokyo.

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 2:45 pm

It's going to great, only downer is I'll probably be driving so won't be able to sample too many beers.

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 4:59 pm

I think there would have been quite a few more Forumites in attendance if it didn't clash with Liverpool Psych Fest.

The below is from the Brudenel Social Club twitter feed:

On Friday, we're getting the absolutely full-on SPIRITUALIZED treatment.

I assume that will be the set up for Liverpool then. Lets hope the first 45 minutes is shite and the second half magnificent. In Liverpool I should add

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 8:22 pm

90 mins set definitely means more songs added then- compared to earlier in the year where sets were around the 1 hr mark? this could be good news.

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 8:56 am

From nath_brudenell on Instagram

"no support.. Just them for a long long set! Winner!"

I'm getting quite excited about this.

The crew at my joint for LPF are all cut up about whether to go to The Heads or Spz tomorrow night. Hopefully we'll be able to exit The Heads and get into Spz, but I doubt it

. I hope everyone has a great time tonight and that the band kick arse.

Amazing gig. Think it was something like 22 songs, great visuals too. Love this band.

olan · Post by **olan** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 10:58 am

Set list please! A bunch of folk are trying to decide on Jason & Co vs some bunch of hippies from Bristol. Any help on the Spz front would be great as we know The Heads were storming last night in Bristol.

order is slightly wrong, think I've missed something out -
so long you pretty thing (intro only)
hey jane
lord let it rain on me
cheapster
here it comes (the road, let's go)
electricity
shine a light
oh baby
born, never asked
electric mainline
she kissed me
s**l on f**e
walking with jesus
come together
take me to the other side
take your time
take good care of it

olan · Post by **olan** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 12:03 pm

Thanks to Runcie on FB. Heads for me and hopefully get the last 40 minutes of Spz.

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 1:52 pm

Personally I was a little underwhelmed by the gig, perhaps I'd set my expectations too high. The band seemed to be on top form but I don't think it was loud enough. The first part of the set was amazing, but Oh Baby seemed to kill the atmosphere (and encourage people to go to the bar) and it didn't get going again until near the end of the set.

Some of the crowd near where I was stood were annoying as well, either talking constantly or being aggressive.

On the upside though it was good to met some more Outpatients and put faces (and names) to names.

Post by **runcible** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 4:48 pm

I have to say I loved it.

Walkin' With Jesus was close to the best I have ever heard it, as was Take Your Time. Utterly magnificent. The lull lasted 2 songs as generally speaking it was a very noisy set indeed. Possibly not loud enough...

Great to see lots of familiar faces from this place. And fantastic to speak to Jason for what seemed like ages after. He was amazingly chatty with everyone.

In terms of gig experiences that was a truly exceptional night. Also a rare moment for all 5 mods to be in the same place at the same time.

And quite an experience for my 17 year old daughter - her first Spiritualized show - as Jason was really nice to her. He signed that set list to her...

A fucking triumph all round as far as I am concerned...

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 4:55 pm

jealous guy. those final 3 songs... FINALLY.
Is Cheapster being back new too? Always loved that one (& you lie you cheat fwiw).
In fact everything after oh baby rocks. That's an awesome run in the final 3rd of the gig.

Can imagine it was a great night. Fuck! I need a good old spz gig. I'd have loved this one..

Hedspace · Post by **Hedspace** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 6:12 pm

An intimate night indeed. my first time in the famous Brudenel having heard so much about the place from this board. The venue didnt disappoint and the gig was fucking tremendous.
She kissed me was a stormer.

quality!

Post by **runcible** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 6:17 pm

For some reason Things'll Never Be The Same wasn't played. Shame but I can live with it as everything else was great.

When I booked a flight over for this gig I could never have imagined what an amazing experience this would turn out to be. Seeing the.band for the first one ever in the UK will all of my friends from Leeds, Scotland etc and seeing the best Spiritualized gig I have seen in 20 years was worth every penny and more. Highlights? The light show for starters. Walking With Jesus, Take Me To The Other Side, The Road(Let's Go), Take Good Care Of It and Shine A Light to name a few. Nice to meet some board members and The Brudenell was amazing.
A night I will never forget. Ever!

An absolutely amazing night which will live long in the memory, band was on top form the sound was excellent and Jason was the perfect gentleman afterwards. Added bonus was the number of friends and board members who were there don't think that will happen again for a very long time if at all

A little footnote the Saturday after in Leeds was another brilliant day but that's a different story, you know who you are

toomilk · Post by **toomilk** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 5:52 am

SO JEALOUS!!!!!! I wish I could have had a similar experience with the Austin Psych fest show. haha. They probably did play the same set list though.
