Spray Paint! New Single! New Tour!

Spray painted lines on a piece of cardboard is as simple as "art" can get. But you get to looking at it and you see contrasts, textures, spacing, and other things enhanced by a simple direct approach, things that get lost in a mess of images and muscular "creativity." This is the rule of less is more. Apply it to rock & roll and it is a rule that Austin's Spray Paint lives by. Following in the grand tradition of Wire, the Urinals, and the Icky Boyfriends, Spray Paint takes rock & roll and minimizes it to a few ungrandiose riff perfectly placed, catchy and energetic. Spray Paint puts all what is needed into a song and nothing more. It is an approach which made for a great debut single (on S.S. and sold out quickly) and an even better follow up.

Spray Paint's Spock Fingers b/w Pink Pus 7" is their second record and is even better than the first. Spock Fingers is riled up, punk energy in a wire-frame, wearing a spikey hat. Pink Pus is a mid tempo grumbling tumbler. Both songs are excellent and housed in a spray painted and stamped sleeve, in a limited run of 300 and on S.S. Records.  Order here!

SS2

Last year we did a four day music fiesta in celebration of S.S. Records' tenth anniversary. It went off very nicely and much fun was had by all. So we decided to do another shindig this year, a little scaled back, but with the same quality of bands from the S.S. Records family & friends, and in the town of San Francisco, California.
