We've been playing music together on and off in different bands for around fifteen years. John came from West Virgina, the rest of us New Jersey. Our first record, A Celebration of Hunger, was put out by Birdman Records. More of them to come.
"I’m gonna go so far as to call this album brilliant. That’s right, brilliant. There’s not a bad track on the entire record, and it’s a goddamn shame I didn’t hear about this album when it came out, because it easily would have made my top 10 for the year." www.berkeleyplace.com
"Every once in a while a band like Chapel Hill's Spider Bags will debut with a record so good it makes me realize I've been way too generous with everyone else." Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
I don't know who they have taking requests at 5 in the morning at XYC at 5 in the morning- and i don't mean to be hastey- but shouldn't she know who spider bags are....Oh shit she's playing it now. All is forgiven. ..."Before the words start to bear down the words are all gone" I love you guys.
Oh yeah... Don't forget Dan & Matt's hit dingle...
I didn't mean to walk on your car... I didn't mean to smash your window... I didn't mean to sit on your car... I'm gonna make it up! We're gonna break it up! TO-MOOOOR-ROW!
You sexy beasts have a home away from home in Columbus. Great to see you, great to hear play your rock 'n' roll sound. Great breakfast & I hope you got to Chicago OK.
