Spinshots record for Serge Gainsbourg tribute album
In september 2009, deejay and well-known French pop connoisseur Guuzbourg will present his choice of Dutch bands covering the French maestro. There will be a party in rocktemple Paradiso, with some of the singers performing live, backed up by the Amsterdam phenomenon West Hell 5, a sleazy 50's/60's combo that even dared to cover 'Je t'aime'.
The Spinshots covered, especially for this occasion, Gainsbourgs 'Qui est 'in', qui est 'out' See the original video: If you'd like to hear what we did, be sure to keep yourself updated in september. Amongst the contributions are covers by West Hell 5, Juicebox and Leine. We're also very happy to announce that much-appreciated comicstrip artist Hanco Kolk (Meccano, Gilles de Geus, s1ngles) will do the cover.
But for the people helping us (studio personnel, mixers etc) our own guitarist Martin Draax designed a cover for the cover haha
Désirs Mutuels
We made a clip for our song Désirs Mutuels. Natasha Cloutier of Radio Oh Lala translated the lyric into French, while we could attract Inge Voskamp of Poolse Vis to do the coaching. We're very proud of the result, have a look:

live at Bellevue, Januari 7 2008
Here's the situation: the Spinshots get on stage with some instrumentals... Notice Mikkel reading Trompey's music...
It's getting hot on stage pretty rapidly...
and then our suave singer Flora Dolores walks on stage to be the centre of our show...
getting the boys concentrated again on their music. Things are getting sweet...
Very sweet...
But hey! We're the Spinshots! Wild and exciting Rhythm and Tunes!
Sure this is the band you want to be in.
and the responce of the audience is overwhelming.
So it's time for Flora Dolores to show what she learned at the Shri Krishna Kumar Dance Academy in Pondichery.
See? Making music can be fun!
I mean, if you're not in love now, you're probably dead.
and then it's time to get really tight!
Although some still hang lose.
Alright folks! that's it for now!
