Once upon a time I started this little music blog and the first band I HAD to feature was The Pink Spiders, the band that started it all, for me. The band that got me into the current music scene and introduced me to so many other bands. Warped Tour 2006 was more then just a festival for me, it introduced me to my favorite band. I’ve had great great times at Pink Spiders shows since then.
I mentioned in the original post that The Pink Spiders called it quits after two of the founding members left the band, leaving lead singer, Matt Friction to carry on the band until he was able to release the album, “Sweat It Out” that the band was in the process of completing at the time of the split. After March 2009, Matt announced that he was to put The Pink Spiders on hiatus while he worked on other creative projects(Matt Friction and the Cheap Shots and The Dozen Dimes).

I am happy to announce that The Pink Spiders ARE BACK. The original three members, Matt Friction, Jon Decious, and Bob Ferrari recently announced via facebook, twitter, and myspace that they are back as a band!!!
Rock and Roll died for a year and a half, but you know what they say, Rock and Roll never dies…it just takes a few hiatus’ every so often!
So far The Pink Spiders are scheduled to play a private show in California in the coming months and do not know what the future will hold for them at this point, hopefully there is going to be a U.S. tour in their near future.
If the Pink Spiders DO go on tour again soon and they are coming to your city, i strongly urge you to go to the show! For a good time, you know you gotta call the Pink Spiders! Rock and Roll at it’s finest.
Fan them on Facebook: www.facebook.com/pinkspidersband

and Pick up a copy of their album(s) “Teenage Graffiti”*, “Sweat It Out”, “Hot Pink”, and if you can find it, “The Pink Spiders are taking over” EP
*Teenage Graffiti is an amazing CD to pop into your car stereo and rock out too with your windows down on a hot and sticky summer day!
From now on I will update this blog with updates about the existing bands or tell you about a new band, like I have been doing thus far…
