THE SPINTO BAND-Slim and Slender EP

Posted on December 28th, 2009 by ekko

Shame on The Spinto Band.  They never made me aware of their Slim and Slender EP (a 2009 release).  And even after I gave them an honorable mention in my survey of the greatest indie records of the decade.  They surely would have made my list of the best EPs of the year.  No doubt.  It starts with a great cover of “Brazil,” and then three joyous, poppy originals follow.

Go buy it now.  Seriously.  It’s excellent.

  1. sorry Ekko… would have loved to send along a copy of the EP, but it was just a small little project we recorded for our fans… we didn’t tackle too much on the promotion side.

  2. Just busting balls. Hope you’ll be releasing an album soon.

  3. dangit Ekko, I missed the window of opportunity on that ELO cover :( … and I love the Spinto band, gorgeous stuff, darlin xoxo

  4. The Spinto Band is beast. I like ‘Oh Mandy’. I’m gonna check out this EP!

  • Berkeley Place is also 6 blocks of Brooklyn real estate, emerging from Sackett St. and ending at Banana Hill, a small park that grows a foot each year from dog shit and the corpses of dead rats. Though its residents have gotten wealthier over the decades, Berkeley Place still houses folks of all backgrounds with interests in, well, everything.
  • WHAT THE HELL GOES ON HERE? Ekko reviews independent music, comic books, and whatever else interests him.
  • WHAT THE HELL IS INDIE MUSIC? An independent record label (or indie record label) is a record label operating without the funding of or outside the organizations of the major record labels. - Wikipedia.org That means they ain't in the RIAA, dude.

    HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

    • Email me
      for the specifics but, basically:
    • I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
    • With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
    • I don't listen to streams.
    • I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
    • I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
    • Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
