Spiritualized
About this event
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first-ever acoustic performances, Spiritualized are set to perform four rare Acoustic Mainlines shows in the UK. Conceived around the time of the making of the Songs In A&E album, and after J Spaceman had survived serious illness, the shows originally grew out of an appearance at a Daniel Johnston show at the Barbican where Spaceman and Spiritualized guitarist, Tony Doggen Foster, performed covers of Johnston’s Devil Town, Funeral Home and True Love Will Find You In The End. As Spaceman later recalled: “I was under weight and battered and this was a gentle way of getting back on stage. It wasn’t my show for a start, and it was small, and it was beautiful. Originally, it was just going to be the two of us, but we ended up getting the strings and the choir and because it worked so well, it led to other things.” The Acoustic Mainline shows that followed featured songs from across the Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized catalogues as well as various cover versions. The same will be true this time round – and once again, J Spaceman will be accompanied on all dates by a string quartet, gospel singers and Spiritualized guitarist Tony Foster.
