I just found a single Spizz track on Spotify and it is a bit of a surprise one.
I have all the Spizz singles (somewhere) from the first Spizz Oil 7-incher through to the Spizzles, plus the Spizzenergi:2 single ‘Work’. I have both the A&M albums and all the compilation CDs that were officially released plus [...]

Spizzenergi t-shirts get you noticed
September 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Life, Music
I went to a quiz night tonight, in aid of the Alpha people, which is a strange thing for an atheist to do I suppose, but they are nice people and I do enjoy a quiz. I was wearing my 25th anniversary Spizzenergi t-shirt – the one that says “1979-2004″ on it so it looks [...]

Spock’s Missing
September 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Music
Another clip from the Leuven show. A shame the camera doesn’t pick up the reactions of the musicians in the band while Spizz is murdering the guitar. Love the wall of sound at 2:50 and the jump into reggae at 3:25. It has been intersting to see the song develop over the years: when they [...]

Summer in the Greenhouse

I don’t think anybody filmed the 100 Club show, but this is the next best thing – the Spizzenergi Stella Artois-fuelled show in Leuven two days later. This is their climate change song…

Spizzenergi 30th Anniversary Gig
September 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Music
Went to see Spizzenergi (again) tonight. I’m not keen on going ‘up west’ when I have to work the next day, but it was to mark 30 years since the first Spizzenergi incarnation, and having seen them on tour back then in 1979 I thought it would be good to make the effort.
As always it [...]

Thirty years on – Spizzenergi in London
August 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Music
I went online tonight and bought my ticket for the Spizzenergi 30th anniversary gig at the 100 Club. I decided that it wasn’t worth the risk of just turning up because with all the publicity there is a real chance of it selling out.

Coming attractions
July 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
So much to look forward to all of a sudden. On top of the Spizzenergi 30th anniversary show, there is now a Spizzoil re-union because Pete Petrol is over from NZ for a while, and now there is the exciting news of Jerry Sadowitz coming to Brighton. I was only thinking about his the other [...]

Where’s Captain Kirk?
June 14th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Music
Still on a Spizzenergi theme. I found this on Youtube: it is the cover of Where’s Captain Kirk? that REM produced as a xmas single for their fan club in (I think) 1992. The arrangement is based on the version performed in the film Urgh! A music War. As far as I know, this cover [...]

Airships

As mentioned in a recent comment, a video for Airships by Athletico Spizz 80 has been uploaded onto Youtube. It has some slightly ambiguous comments attached.

Spizz Trekkin’

Spizzenergi’s classic single Where’s Captain Kirk? and its sequel Spock’s Missing are now available from Cherry Red Records as a download-only single called Spizz Trek. Only £1.50 for both songs together. Bargain.
