Just a little window into a part of the Spindle creative writing process…
Paradigm is one of those songs that happens when you’re supposed to be recording other songs. I wrote Paradigm in the studio while doing a sound check for my piano tracks. We’re still debating on whether or not to put more instrumentation to the song (bass, drums, glockenspiel, etc), so her home will be here until we know what we want to do with her!
We had to take down our cover of Reptile to make space for Paradigm on Myspace, but it is still available on our website (http://www.spindleband.com/) and the video is up on YouTube.
We will keep Paradigm up for a little while until it’s exchanged for another goodie…

Hello Everybody…
We have been meaning to thank everyone that came out to see us at our show a few Tuesdays ago at the Rogue. I know we had quite a few people that traveled quite a distance (B.C., Seattle, Portland, and to my surprise Minneapolis). We really really had a great time because of you all.
Many of you wondered why we don’t play out much. There are a plethora of reasons, the main one being our focus. We really pour everything into creating these songs, and since we have been working on an album we have been completely depleted. It’s not a bad thing, just have to take a few steps at a time. It’s hard to remember that there are only three of us bringing all of this to you…
We’ve posted a scratchy demo of Nightwings on myspace.com/spindleband for you to zone out to. Unfortunately MySpace cuts out most of the low end…which is the presence of this particular song.
I hope you enjoy it, and don’t stop checking back. We are known to pop up a new show at the last minute…
Love, love, love,
Spindle

Hello Dear Friends…
We are proud to unleash a sliver of ourselves to you…
Quicksilver was written well over a decade ago. It’s hard to believe that our demons have not forsaken us for time. While they suck the very life from our bones I know that it only brings us closer together.
Sometimes a song can really take from you. These are usually the best.
This amazing self destructive art form is a gift made of our very own sweat, blood, and tears. These broken hearted, pillow soaked, wrist slitting years have been all worth it.
Nothing is more important than giving these gifts to the most beautiful of people…to you.
With Love,
Spindle

Beautiful things are falling together, bits and pieces falling into the right places…
Recently we put up a live cover of NIN’s “Reptile” on our myspace page, the Spindle edition of the classic tune. Go and have a listen if you haven’t already. Be sure to check our page often as we will be putting up live recordings, cover songs, rare tracks, and b-sides throughout these coming months…some for a limited time only.
We are in the process of booking some Spring / Summer shows in the Bellingham / Seattle area at the moment. Dates and venues will be posted as soon as they are confirmed so stay tuned!
In every spare moment we can possibly spare, we are vigorously writing and recording new songs for the album. We’ve been spinning together some wonderful creations; experimenting with new sounds, playing with new ideas, and unraveling compositions into existence. It is SO exciting. We can’t wait until you get to hear them, and we LOVE hearing feedback from you all!
Cyberhugs!

Much love & warmth in these dreary end of days…

Whelm is a song that was written a long time ago…four years maybe? I have constantly struggled with this song…there are so many versions I want to express…and I’ve thought about aborting it completely…we’ll see…
Whelm will possibly be a B-side off of our second album…
Aeriel is definitely a B-side of our second album…
Once we start finishing songs off of our first album (self titled) we will post them up, but we want to post up the finished versions…right off of the album. If you keep these songs in mind (the B-sides) I think you’ll notice a big difference in the mood and direction of our second album…which will be a real treat…I can’t wait to start working on it…
Hope you enjoy the new songs, they are for your pleasure…

So, I’ve been recording a lot of new material lately, and working with new people. There are two new songs that I’d like to share with you
Aeriel is a B-side that may appear on a single in the future, this is not her original form. This is a piano version. I worked on this song with a friend of mine, Tyler, who is the drummer from the Bellingham metal band Choker. You can check out their music and more of his drumming at:
www.myspace.com/chokermusic
Carousel is a B-side from our first album, which is currently being recorded. This will probably be officially released on one of the singles in the near future.
Hope you enjoy the songs, they will only be up for a short time. We’re working on T-Shirts and some other goodies. If you have any ideas, we’d love to hear them. We’ll keep you posted with what is going on as much as we can, if you have any questions feel free to email us or leave a comment. Thanks for all your support…
Love,
Gina
