When former Spacemen 3 guitarist and Spectrum/Experimental Audio Research principal Sonic Boom (known to earthlings as Pete Kember) takes a trip, we all take a trip. This time around, Kember's trip involves stops in quite a few U.S. cities, where he'll escort audiences into another sonic dimension under his Experimental Audio Research guise.

Then it's off to Boom's home country for a pair of London gigs, the first of which has him opening for reunited ambient krautrock legends Cluster, and another alongside Bert Jansch as part of a Saint Etienne-curated event at Royal Festival Hall.

Sonic Boom hopes to deliver an LP and EP as Spectrum later this year; he'll also tour Japan and Oceania under that moniker. For a good time, abuse a substance of your choosing and check out all the trippy animated visuals on his website.
