186. PETE KEMBER (A.K.A. SONIC BOOM) RATES SPACEMEN 3 (PART FOUR)

This 6 1/2 hour Discograffiti podcast interview series is an unprecedented, no-holds-barred honest account of Pete’s output and experience in the legendary psych band Spacemen 3.

Here’s just a few of the many things Pete and I discuss in this podcast:

• An examination of the end of Pete’s love affair with opiates, and how that train came to a stop;
• The endless ways in which the band was being manipulated & screwed over by the end;
• The crazy tale of how Spiritualized was born behind Pete’s back, and how he discovered its existence during a one-man sting operation;
• Some of the biggest whip-cracking taskmasters with whom Pete’s ever worked;
• A fascinating deep-dive on their final album, Recurring;
• Not to mention the background story behind his masterful new holiday LP with Dean & Britta, out now on Carpark Records…A Peace Of Us!
