These early demo recordings, which Kember later recalled as being "really dreadful", would later be released unofficially in 1995 on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label, thus providing an insight into the band's embryonic sound. Spacemen 3's music at this stage had a loose, swampy blues feel some songs included harmonica and slide guitar, and their style sounded akin to The Cramps. They got a few hundred cassette copies made and produced their own artwork and booklet to accompany it, selling the tapes for £1 at a local record shop. This material – which included early iterations of the songs "Walkin' with Jesus", "Come Down Easy" and "Things'll Never be the Same" – was used for a short demo tape entitled For All The Fucked Up Children Of The World We Give You Spacemen 3. In 1984 they made their first studio recordings at the home studio of Dave Sheriff in Rugby. ĭespite having played fewer than ten gigs, Spacemen 3 decided to produce a demo tape.

So we stuck the 3 on afterwards – that came about from a poster we did which had "Are Your Dreams at Night 3 Sizes Too Big?" with a very big 3 on it and it really worked as a logo, it just fell into place. But it was "The" Spacemen and I hated that, it sounded like a 50s rock 'n' roll group – that's all very well, but we didn't want to be imagined as…one of those surf bands. We did a poster which was just for The Spacemen, which we were for a while. The "3" came about completely by mistake. Still a trio, they changed their name to Spacemen 3. In early 1984, they only performed at a few local, low-key venues.

They continued without a bassist and Pierce would regularly return to Rugby for rehearsals. Kember and Pierce recruited a replacement drummer, Nicholas "Natty" Brooker. This prompted Bain and Morris to leave and join a new local band, The Push, being formed by Gavin Wissen. In autumn 1983, Pierce, having finished his course at Rugby Art College, started attending an art school in Maidstone, Kent. Their first live performances occurred around winter 1982/83, playing at a party and then at a couple of gigs they managed to get at a local bar at the latter their set included a 20-minute version of the one-chord song "O.D. Now a 4-piece, the band originally adopted the name The Spacemen. Morris and Bain had previously played together in a band called Noise on Independent Street. Shortly afterwards they were joined by an acquaintance, Pete Bain, on bass. The two guitarists recruited drummer Tim Morris, who played with a couple of other bands and had a rehearsal space at his parental home which they used.

Pierce was in a band called Indian Scalp, but he left them near the end of 1982 in order to collaborate with Kember. They met at the (now defunct) Rugby Art College on Clifton Road, Rugby, Warwickshire in autumn 1982, both aged 16, and became close friends. The creative and song-writing force throughout Spacemen 3's history were Peter Kember and Jason Pierce. History Formation and early years (1982–85)

However, they disbanded shortly afterwards, releasing their final studio album post-split in 1991 after an acrimonious parting of ways. Spacemen 3 had their first independent chart hits in 1987, gaining a cult following, and going on to have greater success towards the end of the decade. Their music is known for its brand of "minimalistic psychedelia". Spacemen 3 were an English alternative rock band, formed in 1982 in Rugby, Warwickshire, by Peter Kember and Jason Pierce, known respectively under their pseudonyms Sonic Boom and J Spaceman.
