After a successful mid-summer residency at Brooklyn’s favorite bocce arena Union Hall, The Spinto Band are looking forward to a fall tour that will be hitting the UK and Europe, then trekking across the US, joined by like-minded and highly-cordial Scotsman, Frightened Rabbit. This Spinto World Tour (get your t-shirts now) is in support of the band’s forthcoming release Moonwink, coming out Oct. 7th on Park the Van Records.

Since the release of The Spinto Band’s critically-acclaimed debut, Nice and Nicely Done (Bar-None Records), the band has expanded its reach throughout the World with releases on Virgin UK, a fantastic appearance on Later…With Jools Holland, a performance at Fuji Rock in Japan, tours supporting Rilo Kiley, the Arctic Monkeys, Art Brut, the Strokes, Dr. Dog, and many more, including opening up for the Flaming Lips at SXSW!

On their new album, Moonwink, the Delaware six-piece chose to team up with Producer / Engineer Dave Trumfio (Wilco, Built To Spill, Billy Bragg, Mates of State) and Mixing Engineer Tchad Blake (Tom Waits, Los Lobos, Cibo Matto, Paul Simon). The music is at once outlandish, kinetic and luminous, while still restrained in a way that pays homage to the classic pop song, bringing to mind a contemporary coagulum of, Bacharach, Beatles, Berlin, and Bowie – and their live show is a complete high-energy molotov cocktail that is not to be missed!
