German Garage Beat live 1965 - THE SPACEMEN vol. 2

 

German Garage Beat live in 1965 

 

vol. II

 

 

 

the spacemen

 

 

Here’s another batch of Berlin’s Beatsters.

 

The Spacemen were founded in 1961 Berlin West, Germany, and carried on until 1967, when other matters became urgent. But they left a legacy of 29 live recordings from 1965. They show the band in good form, rough and occasionally unrefined. But they knew their tunes. Included are 3 bonus tracks, studio recordings from their LP “Beat À Gogo“, released on the cheapo label Tip (operating from Berlin). The tracks show The Spacemen were competent vocalists. “House Of The Rising Sun“ sports a female guest vocalist, my guess is, it is Tanja May.

 

The Spacemen were amateurs and mostly played at the weekends. In 1965 they had a regular gig at the Riverboat which lasted almost a year. The Riverboat was a club hosted by the Berlin Senate primarily for the entertainment of visiting West German teens – often on class trips. Remember, Berlin was a divided city then – surrounded by the socialist German Democratic Republic. There were just two transit ways to the former German capital and it was always a considerable hassle to get into the city. The border officials did not make it easy for you.

 As far as I know, The Spacemen never played in West Germany, the German Federal Republic. But in West Berlin they were a force.
