The Sisters/Spiritualized Crossover Thing

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

OK, we have quite a few folks here who love the Sisters and quite a few who love the whole Spiritualized/Spacemen 3 thing, but what on earth is going on with it anyway? The bands are like chalk and cheese, but yet there seems to be nothing wrong with liking both. Maybe it's the Stooges/MC5/Suicide influence going in two different directions, maybe it's just appreciation of good music, or maybe it's something else.

I used to take drugs to both Spacemen 3 and tSoM so the connection will always be there. Spiritualised really are overrated btw...

Love 'em both. I saw Sonic Boom's new lot recently though, didn't really rate them. Will have to have another go at some point.

Sorry Dr ,I have confession to make.
That wasn´t Spirtualized we saw that night . It was the Hot House Flowers. Your head was so full of acid we though it would be safer for all conserned if you wern´t told the truth.
Sorry
:oops:

I have yet to hear this Spiritualized. I will venture out and report back!

...maybe. I might forget.

sad to say, i spent $$ to see Spiritualized this year and skipped the Sissies. a SPZ show is a much more moving, powerful affair (to me).

sorry, i'm the 1%-er.

Same shows as me I think. Maybe the roundhouse was a bit too big for the sound? But, it kind of drifted over me anyway.

But seriously, is there a Sisters / Spiritualized connection of some sort? I really don't have any idea who they hell Spiritualized are.

half of a band that used to be called spacemen 3

no real connection as such, other than they were both influenced a lot by suicide and seem to have a few fans in common

spacemen 3 were kinda like droney psychedelic garage grunge. spuritualized are like that but with a 30pc orchestra :lol:

Oh and I love the Sisters.

I've been listening to the ICA gig, quite loud naturellement, and some stuff has just fallen off the speakers.

That's never happened before :eek:

To me, Spacemen 3 is ok. But really, Spiritualized is... so... so... anti-humor.
