The Spinanes - Noel, Jonah, and Me [1993]
The Spinanes - Noel, Jonah, and Me [1993]
From the reissue of Manos, out December 7, 2018 on Merge Records. http://smarturl.it/Manos
Because I posted an Eric's Trip song earlier, I got to thinking about other Sub Pop acts whose records I own. I've honestly not thought about or listened to The Spinanes for years!
They were a Portland, Oregon duo, Rebecca Gates and Scott Plouf, who had vocals, guitar and drums but no bass. Like Eric's Trip, they released three albums on Sub Pop. Bizarrely, I own the first and the third but not the second one.
This track is from the first album Manos, I think it's pretty good.
After The Spinanes, Gates released music under her own name and Plouf joined Built To Spill, apparently.

Aha! I knew I recognized that name from somewhere.
Rebecca Gates is a way underrated guitarist. Super talent.
