Sonic Spirit Guides-Spindrift


Last Thursday, I got a chance to check out Spindrift at Harvard & Stone in Hollywood. One of my old PA pals, Sara Minsavage, is a big fan of these guys, plus I got an invite from West Coast party-maestro Anthony Giancola, so this piqued my interest. After attending a Peepshow Menagerie show in Koreatown, (I'm part of the Burlesque, as well as the Rock and Roll worlds) I made a point of zipping over to Harvard and Stone just so I could make it in time perfectly to see them perform. During the first couple of songs, I thought they were just gonna be a rehash of that old "Rawride" riff or Ennio Morricone epic Spaghetti Western soundtracks. However, as the show went on, the drums started chugging along and I started fancy dancing like crazy. I had come to realize that if I were stranded in the desert on a vision quest, they'd be the kind of people I'd like to find on my journey and I had fallen for their cosmic appeal.

I've included a way-cool video for their track "Drifter's Pass", as well as a link to their offical site. Turns out, the band goes as far back as 1992 and they're from Delaware, of all places (insert the Wayne's World "Hi, I'm in Delaware" joke here), although the Spinto Band are from there too, so maybe that's not much of a surprise. Anyways, sit back and enjoy the magic!
