Current mood:Re-Born!
To Our People!
 
I want to invite anyone who's even remotely close to SpiralArms first two Bay Area gigs in a long, long time, to get off your collective asses and be a part of something special. A lot of crazy things happened to us in the last couple of years. Tim and Cornbread made a record and toured the U.S. with White Witch Canyon, twice. I've been getting my metal on and have toured Europe, the States and Japan with Forbidden. Brad has been gettin' his shit kickers out jamming with Paul Tolle and the Dead Man Band. We have two new members in Greg Narducci(sound like somebodies Bro?) on rhythm guitar and Ron Redeen on Drums. And we almost tumbled out of existence before we took a good look at what we had. Something we believe to be very cool.
 
We've been working very hard and put ourselves back together stronger then ever! Spiral is almost done with the recording process of our first full length record, "Highest Society." It is, simply, a Mother Fucker! The record that Tim and I have been trying to make since we started playing together in 2004. Just too many bumps in the road to ever get done properly, until now. This is our baby. More straight ahead and raw then anything recorded previously by the band. And there was some really great stuff in that catalogue of material. But we've moved on from those early days and refined our sound.
 
So, back to the dirty, dank, beer and vomit stenched clubs for us! Maybe it's not the dream setting for us and our arena rock hooks, but we've gotta re-start it up all over again just like this. Playing in front of human beings with a heartbeat and soul will be massively gratifying! In other words, we couldn't be happier!
 
So come out and be a part of the re-birth of SpiralArms. Everyone is welcome, we mean EVERYONE! The first show is the Friday in Modesto and the Modesto Virtual(all ages), then Saturday at the Time Out in Concord.

     Hello! We made it back from our seperate tours and road trips safe and sound (i.e: White Witch & Forbidden). Its really cool to see people wanting to rock and coming out to shows still....gives us hope....next up the Spiral to hit the road....hmmmmm.
     We stepped back into the studio this week to resume work on "Highest Society". We knocked out "Later On" and "All That You Seek" vocally and put guitar overdubs down as well. Craigs guitar work is better than ever, just wait! Super groovy and stony....YES! For the rest of the record not really sure what to sing on next.... I've been running down the list of roughs I've been living with since July, probably "Bottom Rung".... Its actually the newest song we have...maybe the coolest.
     Were starting to get some ideas for artwork too...it's all coming together, a whole new direction for us. Were gonna stretch out and do some shows late October/early November once the album is done, can't wait to play this stuff live...See ya real soon~

Hey friends so heres whats happening. The majority of the basic tracks are finished, we started some guitar overdubs last weekend and had great results. These songs are so fucking cool!!! Anyway, I'll quit gleaming for a moment to let you know that we are going to pause for a month on recording to handle some other commitments. 

White Witch Canyon (Cornbread,Myself, and our buddy Lando from Greenhouse Effect's stoner power trio) are heading back out on tour for 3 1/2 weeks to the East coast and back with a killer band from Albuquerque called SuperGiant. Craig has a Forbidden show or 2 to rock in the Bay Area...after that we'll jump back into studio mode. I can't wait to start vocals on these songs, I've got so much to let go of...till then~

Peace, respect, and mega weed~

   Hello everyone...Back from a day off after X-fest in Modesto and 2 great weeks in the studio. I finally brought home some roughs of the drums and guitars from the sessions and I can't begin to tell everyone of how impressed I am with Ron's studio work. What a MUTHERFUKKER! Solid as any top studio cat I've worked with, including Josh Freese...no bullshit, period. Thank you Ron for your hard work!!!

   The rhythm guitar tone is so raw and crunchy and exactly what i've been wanting for so long with this band, we've finally achieved it. It sounds so massive already I'm affraid to do anything to them in post production. Next, Cornbread will be stepping up to the plate to tie the basic tracks all together most likely over the next couple of days. 

   We have decided to put 12 songs on the record instead of 11, all which compliment each other and make a very focused heavy rock n' roll album. 2 songs which Craig and I wrote together when first started jamming in 2004 called "Dirty Bomb" and "Got it All Wrong". Its so cool how they fit with all of the newest songs written even weeks ago. This band has come full circle and has never sounded so good.....More to come....

     Well, well, well....It looks like were going to make a new record starting late June early July at the compound (Sonic Room/Audio Voyage). The record is shaping nicely and rounded out with hooks galore! We are going to approach this album much differently than past recordings, and go for a live feel. We did some demos last year where we just set up the band, some mikes, and went for it, and what came back through the speakers at us was truly SpiralArms at its finest.     

    The working title of the record is called "Highest Society"....with some songs titles..."Blood and Wine", "Later On", "Live Another Day", "Scorpio", "Sleep of the Just", "Silver Sky", to name a few.... and a brand new one called "All That You Seek" that we sorted out last practice. 

     We'll keep everyone updated as the process continues....and yes...this will be made available here thru our online store, itunes, and music outlets thru out the U.S. and Europe. I have decided to start my own label in conjunction with Brad called "Luxury Buzz" that will be the label head of this release, and distributed by Sony/Red.....


     We know its been a long time coming, but things are finely right here in the Spiral camp. We've never been more ready.....

     

     Till then....

     Peace & Respect,

     Tim/SpiralArms

Hello friends wanted to update everybody on whats been happening. Well, last year was a difficult one for us, with losing loved ones, a record that didn't see its release, botched business moves, I am still in shock that we were able to get past out internal bullshit and focus on the one and most important thing, MUSIC. Well here we are....with a few new band mates, some new music, and motivation to keep going. First we would like to welcome Ron Redeen to the drum throne. What a great guy and unbelievable drummer, great to have you aboard. Second, my little brother Greg Narducci has joined the rhythm guitar ranks. He always told me "One day we'll play in a band together and it's gonna be killer"! He was right all along, it is killer...welcome aboard bruiser. Third, yes Chris has moved on to take on other musical endeavors. We wish him the best always, and he will always be a brother in my book, thanks for rocking with us man! Last, we look forward to moving on with our lives musically and spiritually...If anything was gained out of all of the heartache of 2008 was to learn to forgive, and not forget why we make music in the first place...because its vital. Live Another Day~ Best, Tim/Spiralarms

Current mood:  luminous

Hello our New and Old Spiral Friends!

First off, check out the new LIVE tunes we put up for your listening pleasure. Yes, LIVE in the studio with NO OVERDUBES! This is how we sound when we're just jamming. We thought it was time to put something as honest and raw as possible. Because ultimately this is what are are. A MotherBleeping ROCK Band!!! Enjoy the ride!


Next off...We realize it's been FAR too long since we've made a public rambling on MySpace. So here is the poop.

The down time was very productive and spent in different areas. As anyone that actually follows the band knows, some of us have other projects we have to tend to from time to time.

Chris has punk rock icons ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT and now the PART TIME CHRISTIANS on the hot plate. Tim is a Producer Engineer and now sings and plays drums(yes drums!) for a killer stoner rock band called WHITE WITCH CANYON. And I have my first band, FORBIDDEN, back together to do a few select dates around the world. That's been a major undertaking for the last few months and I'll still be going to Europe and Japan. In between and after that, it's all about the SPIRAL!!!

In the mean time, Cornbread and Brad have been extremely understanding and frankly are sick of waiting, so...

Like I said, WE'RE BACK!!!

SpiralArms is our life line, our passion, our collective vision... it's everything to us!  We want to give it to all of you.

We have much more news to come in the next couple of weeks. So if you're new to the Spiral Universe.... stay tuned! If you've been following us since the beginning, Thank You So Much for being Patient.

We Really Do Love You All

Craig ~SpiralArms~
