Editorial Review

Continuing in the psych-rock vein, there will be a rare appearance by Spectrum at the Black Cat's backstage. Spectrum is the current (and longtime) project of Pete Kember, who went by the very appropriate stage name Sonic Boom when he founded drone rock pioneers Spacemen 3 in the mid-'80s. Plenty of bands have adopted Spacemen 3's approach of finding that one perfect chord to play at a ridiculously loud volume for about 11 minutes, but nobody has improved upon it. That includes Spectrum, but Kember's songs that trade off between blissful and noisy -- often at the same time -- almost always hit the spot. He'll be playing material from his many projects tonight, including Experimental Audio Research material in addition to Spectrum and Spacemen classics. Local faves the Antiques open.
