lazing on a rainy afternoon

In the summertime the spider james people are all a bit like Mungo Jerry. Well, maybe not as scairy, but still enjoying the season, even though at the moment the summer feels more like an Interpol album than a Beach Boys song.
Although we get a bit lazy these days, we will have to get some things figured out before we go back to the studio in september. So the part of spider james not on holiday abroad or in Texel, will gather and make music as much as they can or are allowed to... And drink bongloads of coffee of course. We rock big time!

I kick your ass! LAP!


cripple crow

Last saturday me and the boys were on a roll! First we had some coffee, we smoked some cigarettes, listened to some Devendra Banhart and concluded he's pretty good, sometimes. After we checked our gear we had a good sitting on our asses. To conclude this day we talked a little politics. We rock! After a kick- ass recording weekend it was time for a sorry-ass rehursal. (Which was actually pretty synthnoising good!) Everything in it's right time.

purists are boring

Double guitarsolo's with a lot of chorus, Tyrannosaurus Rex-style bongo's, drumsolo's, long instrumental breaks, epic melotron endings. We are not afraid anymore. We will do anything to be over the top! Now all we need is some lyrics about castles, phantoms, queens and prophets. But seriously (to quote our favourite drummer), we think we will blow your (and our own) mind with the things we recorded last weekend...

back to mine (10)

a nice pair

We achieved a lot more than expected today! An excellent wild space rock take on King James. A cinematic version of Kam. And a nice little jammie Kinki II. For now we think we never sounded better! Good news: Pidah and Spider James will go on sunday to record some more music. So set the controls for the heart of the sun......

back to pidah


odelay

Next saturday spider james will return to The Void in Eindhoven. We hope to do all the things we originally planned for the cancelled weekend in one day. Sort of. Well, we'll to the best we can! Willem will also show his bandmates some cool dance moves he learned from Iggy Pop last weekend. No fun!
