For those who don't know who he is, He's a friken Genius at blissed out drug tones, 80's blues psyche and all round mind expansion.
Best know for his work with the legendary cult band SPACEMEN 3, Sonic Boom A.K.A Pete Kember has hinted at a national tour with his band Spectrum, who sound a lot like Spacemen 3, in Mid 2008, and I for one, am extreamly excited. my reasons for starting this, was to see how many folks would actauly go see Spectrum when and IF they come to OZ?
And what size room 'you reck'n they'd play?
Melbs, I'd probably say the corner would be about right. Who would support too?
I'm trying to help him out a bit, so any idea's would be good.

wonder if the australian spectrum will support.

I saw this Spectrum a few months ago:

They were actually pretty good for a bunch of old guys.


TheOtherGuyFromWham  said about 1 year ago:

Snap anon.


TheOtherGuyFromWham  said about 1 year ago:

Well, snapish.


JunkiePhil  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah, Fuck that off, post that shit in the OTHER spectrum thread.


__v  said about 1 year ago:

I'd certainly go.

Would he feel uncomfortable playing at Spectrum in Sydney? Would it be a bit like wearing your own band's t-shirt?


Scientificsupercake  said about 1 year ago:

holy moley!

AWESOME!


JunkiePhil  said about 1 year ago:

Spectrum in Sydney is too small for this much force.
+ All those Soft cock sydney psyce scene dudes would fill it in sec's.

when when when?

how much how much how much?


JunkiePhil  said about 1 year ago:

Starstream would surly be the best support in Aust.


columbo  said about 1 year ago:

whoahh

(i can sense the usual suspects clamouring for the support already)


whosgotthecrack?  said about 1 year ago:

qua/mountains in the sky/flying scribble for support?


Ubu  said about 1 year ago:

So, do you prefer Sonic or Jason Spaceman, JP?


columbo  said about 1 year ago:

nope - bridezilla


columbo  said about 1 year ago:

only kidding ;)


columbo  said about 1 year ago:

nitocris will reform for the event


whosgotthecrack?  said about 1 year ago:

corner would be good

but definitely a place with a seriously decent PA

half-decent woulnd't cut it here

(like that shit sound for sigur ros at the palais... pfft)


JunkiePhil  said about 1 year ago:

Hard Question ,Ubu, but I'd have to say Sonic.
I prefer his side of Recurring + I don't really like Spirtualized.


JunkiePhil  said about 1 year ago:

Forum would be the best
But I'm just not sure he's got that kind'a pulling power.
In fact, I'm pretty sure he doesn't.


__v  said about 1 year ago:

Well, Spiritualized only played the Metro - and didn't sell it out last time, from memory. Or did they do two shows? Hm. Perhaps the Annandale then.

They waited till Bassman had gone to lunch, then did it in his absence.

Many bands could profit from this approach.


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

Aparently I have the best smoke in aust too.


bamesjaker  said about 8 months ago:

Did he visit South Australia? Such assertions cannot be made without robust empirical evidence.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 8 months ago:

Ha ha. Poor Bassman.


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

When I said ''Mystic Morning is a great song, you can't say he can't play bass or sing!''
He took it back, and agreed with me.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 8 months ago:

I've been racking my brain to remember what the Kraftwerk song was Pete did on Sunday night. It's on the tip of my brain, but can't quite reach. Help!


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

Hall Of Mirrors


FrankieTeardrop  said about 8 months ago:

Of course. Thanks JP. I was trying to find a German version of that song.


switchbladesisters  said about 8 months ago:

JunkiePhil said 3 minutes ago: Hall Of Mirrors

awesome.


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

It was a highlight of both the sets I saw.
I felt like a twat when I asked him what his new song was called.
Don't own any Kraftwerk me self, thats on the list now though.
AFTER THE STATES THOUGH....jesus I hate this saving business.


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

It was cool that he DJ'd a heap of stuff off Spacelines at the NSC too.
Rolf Harris, haha...
too good.


kandos  said about 8 months ago:

i'll hook you up with some krauty goodness, JP. shame i missed sonic. such is my lot at the moment.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 8 months ago:

There are several versions of Spectrum doing Hall Of Mirrors on youtube


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

That'd be cool Kandos.
Should have called you on Sunday, as Kris and the crew had door spots, and didn't come.
Oh well. Such is life.


kandos  said about 8 months ago:

yeah. i was gonna call you while you were on the road, but i was feeling pretty ratshit sunday night. we'll have to catch up this week - have some beer and play some rekkids.


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

You're on!


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

Another funny,
I live close to a Salvos which gets large dumps of stuff out the front of a weekend.
Pete kept coming home with random things from out the front, like a weird 'boobs' looking red boul, a leather jacket for his lady and some snazzy leather boots that actualy fit her.
Just got an email asking if I could post them off to the UK for them.
Jesus christ.....
crack up.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 8 months ago:

Mmmmm....boob bowl!


JunkiePhil  said about 8 months ago:

1 more, then I'll shut it.
I was talking to Miss Boom and she asked what was my fave Sonic song, it was quite loud at the time, but I said
'' I love you''
then she go's
''What?!''
'' I SAID 'I LOVE YOU!'..........Ummm...well, not like that, not yet anywho, we only just met''
Laughs all round.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.
