The Spider Babies har rykte på seg for å levere et vanvittig live show. Nå kommer de til Oslo og Mono publikummet har muligheten til å oppleve Garage Rock på sitt ypperste.

The Spider Babies are a self proclaimed Garage Trash band from Portland, Oregon. The band is most known for its’ vox fuzz sound and snotty vocals mixed with plenty of sex and violence.

FORMED FROM THE REMAINS OF THE UNDERTAKERS IN 1992 BY DEMENTED MASTER MIND KEVIN “THE STALKER” SHAPEN, THE SPIDER BABIES DRANK,FUCKED, AND FOUGHT THEIR WAY INTO THE “GARAGE HALL OF FAME” BY DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST, DRINKIN’,FUCKIN’, AND FIGHTIN’. OH YEAH, AND A WHOLE LOTTA ROCKIN’! BUT WHAT REALLY SETS THE SPIDER BABIES APART FROM OTHER “GARAGE” BANDS IS THEIR “TRUE TILL DEATH”, NO NON-SENSE APPROACH TO ROCK AND ROLL, MIXING 50′S TRASH, 60′S PUNK GRINDERS, 77′ SLEAZE, AND A SHIT LOAD OF SEX AND VIOLENCE THAT HAD EARNED THEM THE PRIVILEGE TO HAVE SHARED THE STAGE WITH SUCH DIVERSE ACTS AS SKY SAXON, FEAR, AND ANDRE WILLIAMS.

THE BANDS FIRST 7″, “I’M DEAD” WAS RELEASED IN 1992 ON FRED COLE’S (WEEDS,LOLLIPOP SHOPPE,RATS,DEAD MOON, PIERCED ARROWS) PRESTEGOUS TOMBSTONE LABEL.TEENAGE NECROPHILIA AT IT’S BEST! THE FOLLOW UP RELEASE WAS “HEY BABY” ON SEATTLES RAT CITY (STATICS) LABEL.NEXT UP WAS THE SCREAMING APPLE (GERM.) 7″ EP”ARACNOPHONIC SOUNDS OF THE SPIDER BABIES. THIS WOULD BE THE LAST RELEASE FOR THE BANDS ORIGINAL LINE UP, DROPPING THE ORGAN FROM THE BAND. THEIR FIRST LP. ,”ALL FUCKED UP” (SCREAMING APPLE) RECEIVED RAVE REVIEWS AND BECAME THE “STANDARD” OF WHAT WOULD TRANSPIRE INTO NEARLY TWO DECADES OF STRIPPED-DOWN ROCK AND ROLL.

THE SPIDER BABIES, HAVING COMPLETELY BRAIN WASHED THE MINDS OF GARAGE PUNKS AROUND THE WORLD, WOULD SET OUT TO CONQUER NEW LANDS, DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN THEIR PATH BY RELEASING 6 LP’S, A 10″, DOZENS OF 7″S, AND EMBARKING ON RELENTLESS TOURS OF EUROPE,ASIA, AND THE UNITED STATES.THEY’RE DRUNKEN STAGE ANTICS, POLITICALLY IN-CORRECT PREACHINGS, AND”DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU” ATTITUDE EARNED THEM THE GUILTY PLEASURE OF BEING BANNED BY MAXIMUM ROCK AND ROLL AT A TIME WHEN THE BAND MADE THE MAGAZINE’S “TOP TEN” LIST ON NEARLY ALL OF IT’S RELEASES!

WHAT WOULD SEEM TO BE THE BANDS FINAL RELEASE”WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?” (GET HIP) WAS RELEASED IN 2003, AFTER THE DEATHS OF ADAM COX (BASS) AND JEREMY GAGE (DRUMS). (THE EXPLODING HEARTS)

BUT NOW, NEARLY 20 YEARS SINCE THE INCARNATION OF THE BAND, FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, THE SPIDER BABIES CRAWL FROM THE GRAVE TO GIVE BACK TO ROCK AND ROLL WHAT THEY HAD TAKEN. DRINKIN’,FUCKIN’ AND FIGHTIN’. AND A WHOLE LOT OF ROCKIN’!
