Jason Andrew Pierce (born 19 November 1965 in Rugby) is an English musician.
 Currently the frontman and sole permanent member of the band Spiritualized, he previously co-fronted alternative rock band Spacemen 3 with Peter Kember.
 He has worked under the name J. Spaceman.
Will Carruthers (born 9 November 1967, in Chesterfield, England) is a musician, best known for playing bass in the influential alternative rock bands Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized.
For All the Fucked Up Children is a 1995 release from the neo-psychedelic trio Spacemen 3.
 The record consists of what claims to be Spacemen 3's first ever recording session, from 1984.
 The music sounds like a primitive version of the group, the dominating sound of the record is a slow, droning psychedelic blues performed with spare instrumentation.
 A drum set is matched with a pair of distorted electric guitars, all of which provide a swirling foundation for Jason Pierce's vocals.
 The album's liner notes is an early review by Gary Boldie, where he contemplates the city of Rugby and finds it an odd source for this new sound, and while he declares Spacemen 3 as the "all singing, all dancing answer to the problems of a grey 1985," he admits they are still raw, a little too repetitive, and need time to blossom.
Said the Whale is a Vancouver B.C.-based indie rock band started by Ben Worcester and Tyler Bancroft in 2007.
"Big City" is the fifth and last single from the English alternative rock band Spacemen 3.
 It entered the UK charts at position #88.
 It was released in January 1991, shortly after the band split up, as a 7", 12" and CD single.
 The 7" contains a shorter version of the song than the 12".
 A remixed version was released separately.
 The 7" edit appears on the band's final album "Recurring" under the title "Big City (Everyone I Know Can Be Found Here)".
Sun Carriage existed from around 1988 - 1992.
 They were founded by Ron Price and Mathew Watts in Plymouth during the late 1980s.
 Relocating to Camden and joined by fellow Plymouth exile Chris Leech on second guitar they recorded the "Sun Carriage/Determined" (written by Ron Price) demo 7" (very rare, only about ten were pressed) for the fledgling Head Records run by Jeff Barrett (later the founder of Heavenly).
 With principal songwriter Watts, the original line up also included Bex who had originally drummed in Loop and Sarah Wills on bass.
 Sun Carriage toured with Loop throughout the UK and supported various bands of the time such as House Of Love, Spacemen 3, Lush and even Happy Mondays.
 Bex was later replaced by Michael Ryan on drums, and soon after Chris Leech left, leaving the band as a trio of Watts, Ryan and Wills for the rest of its life.
Space rock is a rock music genre characterized by loose and lengthy song structures centred on instrumental textures that produce a hypnotic, otherworldly sound.
 It may feature reverberation-laden guitars, minimal drumming, languid vocals, and references to drug use.
 The term was initially used to describe the style of early 1970s progressive rock bands such as Hawkwind and Pink Floyd who explored a "cosmic" sound.
 However, it now refers to a "new generation of alternative/indie bands" drawing on psychedelic rock, ambient music, experimental/avant-garde music, krautrock, classical minimalism, and noise pop.
 This later style was pioneered in the mid-1980s by Spacemen 3, whose "drone-heavy" sound was avowedly inspired by and intended to accommodate drug use.
 By the 1990s, it became associated with shoegazing and post-rock.
Experimental Audio Research (commonly shortened to E.A.R. or EAR) is a loose collective of experimental musicians formed around Peter Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom), formerly of Spacemen 3.
 While Spacemen 3 were a relatively traditional rock and roll band with strong experimental leanings, E.A.R. is essentially a free improvisation project, creating instrumental music characterized by lengthy, droning textures and slowly evolving structures.
Spacemen 3 were an English alternative rock band, formed in 1982 in Rugby, Warwickshire by Peter Kember and Jason Pierce.
 Their music was "colourfully mind-altering, but not in the sense of the acid rock of the 1960s; instead, the band developed its own minimalistic psychedelia" (Stephen Erlewine, "AllMusic").
 Spacemen 3 had their first independent chart hits in 1987, gaining a cult following, and going on top have greater success towards the end of the decade.
 However, they disbanded shortly afterwards, releasing their final studio album post-split in 1991 after an acrimonious parting of ways.
 They gained a reputation as a 'drug band' due to the members' drug taking habits and the candid interviews and outspoken views of Kember about recreational drug use.
 Kember and Pierce were the only members common to all line-ups of the band.
 Both founding members have enjoyed considerable success with their respective subsequent projects: Sonic Boom/Spectrum and Spiritualized.
The Flowers Of Hell is the 2006 instrumental self-titled debut album from the experimental rock group The Flowers of Hell.
 It was largely recorded by Tim Holmes of Death In Vegas at the Contino Rooms in London.
 Peter ‘Sonic Boom’ Kember of Spacemen 3 mentored the band through its creation, mixed and performed on the track 'Through The F Hole', contributed a liner note poem to the Japanese CD version, and guest deejayed at the record's London release concert.
 Band leader Greg Jarvis has stated that the goal of the album was to build classical tangents from The Velvet Underground & Nico and the Spacemen 3 / early Spiritualized sound.
