The Woods
Portland, OR

The Spinanes formed in Portland Oregon in 1991 when Rebecca Gates (guitar/vocals) started playing with Scott Plouf (drums). In 1993 they released their first album with Sub Pop, the acclaimed disc "Manos". In 1996 "Strand" followed , and after the departure of Plouf, who left to handle drum duties in Built to Spill, Rebecca relocated to Chicago and issued "Arches and Aisles".

On her new album, Rebecca Gates is joined by Chicago musicians John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake), Noel Kupersmith (Brokeback, The Chicago Underground Quartet), Mikael Jorgensen (Movere Workshop) and Brian Deck (Califone, Red Red Meat). Production is handled by Rebecca with the assistance of John McEntire (Stereolab, Tortoise) and Brian Deck (Modest Mouse).

Rebecca Gates has performed on the Conan O' Brien show and toured with The Afghan Whigs, Sam Prekop, Luna, Liz Phair, Stereolab, Morphine, Codeine and other seminal artists. She sang on Elliott Smith's debut album and he returned the favor by joining her on The Spinanes' album "Strand."
