Although I didn't get a chance to go to the last two shows, Yo La Tengo and My Brightest Diamond, I have been hearing great things. Both artists were splashed all over the entertainment section in the Metro and both got great turnout.
So next...
"Drawing on the continued influence of the Velvet Underground, La Monte Young, and Steve Reich, Spiritualized staked out a common ground between minimalism and lush symphonics -- While the infamous Spacemen 3 tag of "taking drugs to make music to take drugs to" remained a cornerstone of their craft, Spiritualized's very name acknowledged the existence of other forces, and further reflected in their heavy debt to gospel and soul music as well as an affinity for mantras and devotional hymns."
Tonight, Spiritualized will be playing. After hopping around for a bit online, I've found that Spiritualized has gone through many a musician with Jason Pierce as the sole permanent member since 1990. Check out a few of Spiritualized songs and tell me what you think!
