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.

via Loop of course.

and drugs, lots of drugs

We dig it, we dig it,
we dig it, we dig it
Repetition, repetition, repetition

it lack of taste and showing chaotic state of mind, that's why i like both.

i also like more "unfitting" band, but that is a different story.

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.

25 whores and 200 bars

What more could your body ask for

i always thought spiritualized were more about 9 bars...

9 bars and a head full of lines

Speaking of which, along time ago Spigel and I accompanied Gangwar to go and see Spiritualised.... when worlds collide

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

I like!

ah well, I had fun.

I loved both The Sisters & Spiritualized from the first time I got to hear them!
Both in the very early nineties... and I still love 'm today

Saw him support My Bloody Valentine this year- a disappointment

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

Thanks for the skinny.

I love Spacemen 3. I like Spritualized. Spectrum are hit and miss.
Oh and I love the Sisters.

p*ss poor argument considering I walked straight to the front to hear
MBV were one of the loudest things I have ever heard
Recording available on dimeadozen btw

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

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