Spin 66 Electromatic commercial


San Antonio's Spin66, started out as the vision of bassist, Joey Monosmith. Inspired by his love of female front women such as Shirely Manson and Gwen Stefani, Joey set out to create a song-oriented, hard rocking band fronted by a dynamic female vocalist. In 1996, after countless auditions, Joey discovered the voice hed been seeking in Heather Gasaway. Now a solid, kick ass four piece flaunting a rhythmically distinctive, keyboard-infused guitar rock sound, Spin66 is poised to grab national attention with its ambitious sophomore CD, Digital Self.

Sharing an ideal creative chemistry, Heather and Joey worked together as the core of Spin66 before solidifying a full line up in 1998, including Drummer Kyle Cunningham and Guitarist Meatt. In 2001, Spin66 signed a development deal with GarageBand Records and released its self-titled debut CD. The record was distributed to radio and Spin66's name recognition quickly spread, with several songs receiving air play. GarageBand Records were very successful in promoting Spin66, says Joey, and were still benefiting from that effort. It definitely opened doors and accomplished quite a bit for us that we couldnt have done on our own.

Spin66 have played venues ranging in size from tiny clubs to huge festivals, opening for artists such as Crossfade, The Donnas, Joan Jett, among many others. MTV and VH1 have used their songs for such shows as "Meet the Barkers" and "Celebrity Fit Club II".

The band is recording their third cd due out early next year.
