A bit to my surprise, one of my favorite “space rock” (aka “heroin is awesome”) outfits is coming to town. I’ve been a big Spiritualized fan since around 1994-ish when I first heard Lazer Guided Melodies in my friend Jared’s apartment, and for some reason just figured I’d never see them live. Now, though, they are playing the Ogden tomorrow night, and The Wife and I have tickets.
There’s a slight chance bigger things could interfere with our plans, but for right now, I think I need to queue up the latest release, Songs In A&E, to get to know it a bit more…
I was bummed that I missed them recently at Boston’s MFA where an acoustic performance blew my friend’s brains out. I last saw them in approximately 1998 at Axis in Boston where a mix of drugged out behavior and pre-recorded orchestra pieces left me less than excited. I am definitely hoping they come back around these parts soon though. If bigger things remain out of the way, please post your review!
