Spinto Band: The New Batch
charlesubaghs by Charles Ubaghs September 10th, 2008

Indie-pop's sweetest souls Spinto Band re-enact Gremlins 2?!

This is simply too strange to ignore. Head over to the always excellent Daytrotter.com and you’ll find US indie types The Spinto Band – whose new record Moonwink arrives on these shores next week – reading out a scene from the ‘novel adaptation’ of the Phoebe Cates’ motion picture classic, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, as part of Daytrotter’s Bookery Sessions. That’s right, Gremlins 2.

This of course begs the question: if water is spilt on a cuddly indie band and you accidentally feed them after midnight, will they multiply and run amok in your town? The mind boggles.
