SPECTRUM is the seminal drone outfit formed by Pete "SONIC BOOM" Kember after his previous outfit, SPACEMAN 3, bit the acrimonious dust. Feted through-out experimental circles, Spectrum offers a slightly more accessible entrance into the world of space exploration than some of his later work, while retaining the heavily hypnotic, and often euphoric, Velvets vs Suicide axis of guitar-led repetition and futurist electronica. It's hallucinogenius !!

London on 27th February at the Dome. That's the Boston Arms one in Tufnell Park, not the Millennium O2 one. It's part of a Sonic Cathedral night with the Pat Fish of The Jazz Butcher also on the bill.

Wooo-who. Day before my birthday and I'm being whisked away somewhere so would have missed the Brighton gig.

[Shinesalight]

I have a spare ticket for the Spectrum gig in Brighton if anyone fancies it. Am off to San Francisco for 2 weeks on Monday so can't make it now. PM me if interested.

I thought you were going to be swamped with homophobe remarks after your comment Mark but Ononist's reply made me laugh out loud. No takers for the spare ticket yet.

Alright mate, just came across this and your post on Ladies and Gents gig thread, thanks very much! I think you where maybe chatting to our guitarist? I loved that gig, got loads good feedback bar 3 critics on some Leeds forum but thats life, I think there is a review on its way soon. That Ladies and Gents gig is gonna be superb, funnily enough we had No God Only Religion on when driving to Wales recording last Friday and I was thinking I wish I had seen that live! I will keep updated on band stuff mate, we have an EP out September, filmed the video for it at the weekend, its strobe heavy! Also got some odd releases out along the way and national tours later in the year, we are back in Leeds on 4th May @ Oporto, playing with Free Peace (Edgar Jones from The Stairs' new band), its for the launch of a limited release the label are putting out in run up to the EP.
Ta again for the compliments, maybe see each other in October?

That aint Gary by any chance is it? Think it was Gray I was talking to after about getting you a gig in York, off the see the Yards there tomorrow so will be seeing Tim the owner, he should be up for it. Any demo's you can send us to pass on to him? PM me or email TJ_Banks@hotmail.co.uk

If you ain't got a ticket for october I've gor a spare front stalls row A right in front of where J should be on the 12th & a spare on front row of the balcony on the 13th so I can film it!! Got no one to go wi yet so why the fuck not eh!

Photo from gig in leeds with Spectrum Check the gurn! Had to put te blurry one of you lot in cos it just fits!!

[Noddy]

Quality pics mate, I am Mark (singer/guitar) it was probs Andy our bass player you where talking to. It was warm on that Library stage! The projections seem to have come across well.

Hits Me Like I'm Stoned - ta for the compliments! We recorded it for a Dandelion Radio session, its getting aired next month, and will be on one of the limited releases too. The title is 'adopted' from the old 'Let It Flow' versions that where floating around pre Pure Phase I think. It had that line in it, sorry Jason! Its around 12 half mins long which is a bit unconventional for radio!

That gig sounds quality, I will e-mail you over some demos, could you do me a favour mate and make sure any offers are directed to craig@deadyoungrecords.co.uk. Sorry for sounding like a tit or anything just he deals with everything. Ta!

That spare ticket sounds cool mate, will have a chat to see if anybody missed out. Got 6 of us going down at mo, we will def meet up though. We are down for 12th, its going to be amazing,

[heyman]

Cush mate, def up for a meet up & a few beers. Gonna have to calm it on 13th cos wanna film it. Filmed Acoustic Mainlines Leeds on DV but DV cam shagged, tryin to get converted to DVD so can upload, put a mate on it tonight, owns The White Rooms recording studio in York, if he can't then Rameses on here said would do. Wil send on a copy soon as

Will get on with the poss gig 2 moz, there's the Duchess & Fibbers & couple others so should be able to get you one.

Craig, that's him, he sorts out all your stuff, he wrote his numer on he back of a ticket stub, it's in my room somewhere, was supposed to get back to him!
