Hand silk printed poster for the Spinshots featuring new singer Flora Dolores. I have always liked the term ‘Rhythm & Tunes’ to explain ‘what kind of music i make’.
Later we tagged in ‘Neo Exotica’ but i never really liked that denotation – it feels restricting to have a genre that seems too framed. But yeah, bookers want to know what they book.
Anyway, here is a poster for a band that really is inspired by the ’50s and ’60s exotica wave but mixed it with punk, beat and soul. Beat, not Beats.
Early material of the Spinshots – this is during a talent presentation at Paradiso. I actually have warm feelings of this period of the band, when the future was open and unknown, and musically it could develop in all directions. We weren’t that good yet i guess, but i like this.
Somewhere at an early stage of The Spinshots I organised a monthly vaudeville show in a circus tent, together with Patrick Moonen.
We had bands, act and deejays, and here you see the Spinshots performing their son ‘Fetish for Veils’ with Maya Acid dancing to it.
