Spinach we venture and we won

Spinach was formed in 1994 and became one of the must see, on the LA club Circuit; often sharing the stage with: the big blue missiles –Steel James (co-writer with :stone temple pilot) Polar Bear (ex:Janes Addictions bass player) Amber sea (electric sky church) The Capsules, Miss Galaxy, The flys, Gwen mars, Izzy the pusher, 4 Star Mary, Moon pools and Caterpillars, Issa Jones, The Enginear, Southpaw Operator, Ursa Minor, Drag Beat, La Gente del Pueblo, Convertible, twenty cents crush and many many more!

As the popularity of Spinach was growing the world-famous “Whisky a GoGo” offered us residency for hosting a Weekly Rendez-Vous with the top local groups called “The Neighborhood”.

At the time Spinach was a breath of fresh air on the L.A scene. Coming out with a very different approach than the regular power trio or four-piece band that had become normality. Layers of electronic music, sequencing and sampling techniques, the addition of a DJ’ Turntablist and various guest musicians added character, soundscapes and colourful arrangements to the sound of Spinach giving it an immediate edge and popularity. The musical climate rapidly changed as many bands jumped on the bandwagon and introduced similar fashion. The audience was very responsive to the new “Techrock” sound!
