The Spinshots - Never so Right: West Side (2018)

The Spinshots - their wild, sulphurous mix of styles never seizes to amaze the audience. The band takes their listeners on a rollercoaster ride through time and space: the music resembles 50s tv tunes, 60s beat, strutting soul, 70s Bollywood, Klezmer, 30’s Big Band, Yé Yé, Spyfi, Space Age... It resembles the soundtrack of that golden era of your life you seemed to have missed.

On stage the Spinshots unpack as a musical desert storm, their rhythm, melodies and stage performance provoke a heatwave that can only be answered to by dancing your butt off. They seem to have a direct link with a parallel universe, where naivité actually can be linked to skillfully smithering pretty tunes. They seem to have come through a crack in reality, bringing from an obscure world the rhythm you always failed to catch, the tunes you have been craving, and a backbeat you could neer imagine to be that back.

The Spinshots understand people listen largely with their eyes. Having two reknown graphic artists in their midst, the band also emerges to be a verhicle for the art of Emanuel Wiemans and Martin Draax. Feast your eye on Record sleeves, silkprinted posters, special editions. Have some of that suave merchandise items and watch their videoclips - this is not your average band. Like their sound - it resembles the swinging 60s - yet it isn’t ‘retro’. It’s just that the rest of popmusic took the wrong exit, at some point.
