We're Back...
We're back...
with lots of goodies…
the first being the new demo up "Bait"
the song sprung up while tracking for the new album…
The Spindle girls have been busy working on a barrage of exciting new things
with some bigger fish
including but not limited to a couple of music videos and a new album.
We're not completely out of the shadows…
just slowly emerging…
xoxoxo,
Spindle
*ps...we've also added lyrics to the lyrics section of the myspace player, and on our music page on this site...for all of you who have been asking :)

Reoccurring Sevens
Black cats, ladders, whistling in graveyards…
Perchance, hap chance…
Reoccurring sevens…
The mystery of suspicions, and coincidences has bewildered mankind since our very inception. With all the scientific research, existentialistic investigations, and religious dogmas there are still no answers.
Nothing settling. Nothing consoling. No end.
Still, there is a constant and relentless quest to find these answers…
Finding some kind of answer…
Finding the right questions….
And amidst these seemingly childish pursuits, we find even more perplexity…
Irrationality…
Timelessness…
This past Saturday, on the seventh day…in the seventh month…of the seventh year…we made a big decision as a band to take a break…
During this time, we’re going to be writing…
Growing, and exploring new landscapes…going beyond ourselves…for a brief moment in life…
We’ll keep you posted…
Love,
Spindle

Summertime...
Hello girls and boys...
Spindle would like to thank everyone that came out to the show last Saturday. There is surrealism like no other that we enter into while performing. It is always inspiring to meet people that not only listen to our songs, but who also share the same love of music, and the sanguine atmosphere it creates.
Unfortunately not everyone's best interest is in the music. I'm mainly pointing fingers at the sharks who make a considerable living off of live music, and then make it considerably difficult for the musicians to justify supporting their own music scene. This is, no doubt, why there is such a popularity and monetary decline in many local music scenes, affecting anyone from venues to performers. Just a few observations that we've picked up on in the few years we've been here in Bellingham, Washington.
Nevertheless, we are gaining speed...creeping into this year's hopeful and better half. The first day of summer. So far, it has been a mild one here in Washington, which is really quite pleasant. With any luck this will be the beginning of a stream of abundant times, full of surprises that we have been dying to share with you...
Summer Raindrops + Sunshowers your way,
Spindle

Here & Now
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!

With Open Hearts & Anxious Ears
To our lovely friends,
We are (surprisingly) already well into this new year. Winter has begun to relapse back into his hibernation, as the trees shake off his chilly residue and everything begins to awaken and welcome growth and new beginnings.
We've recently played a few local shows here in Bellingham, and are now delving deep into recording new material; songs that are aching to be spun together. Crawling back into the studio, shutting the door, drawing the curtain closed, and saying goodbye to any social life whatsoever, it's time to get down and dirty again. Beautiful things are on the verge of being formed...
Check back for updates, as we will be posting up new songs on both the website and our myspace page. We are planning some more shows come late spring and summer, so stay tuned for the dates and times.
We truly love you all and appreciate the continual, immense support. Recently, we met some local Spindle fans, and it was absolutely delightful. Seeing that our songs have influenced or inspired someone somehow, or even just caressed their soul in a way only art and music can, is truly a wonderful feeling. The greatest of accomplishments a band could wish for.
That's what making music is all about...
Love,
Spindle

Thank You Everyone...
Spindle would like to extend a warm thank you to all who came to our show at Fantasia on October 14th. It was a pleasant little break from the confines of our recording studio. We had so much fun being there playing music for you. It was wonderful and encouraging to have so much support, and to see so many familiar (and unfamiliar) faces. You all contributed to the awesome experience!
Congratulations Bob!!! Our local guitar teacher, Bob McDonald, won the guitar! It was great seeing it go home to deserving hands! Bob is a maniac on the guitar...playing anything from the most impressive Classical masteries to the loudest in your face Metal. Ironically enough, Bob could be the missing link that we've been waiting years for...
P.S. Your days of hoping and praying for another Spindle show will come to an end very soon...We are planning a few new shows to finish off the good ol' year of 2006. Check our myspace page for the latest venues, dates and times.
Much Love,
~ Spindle
