  Venus Zine: The Spinto Band
When I hung with the Spinto Band, the boys were on the first leg of their summer tour in support of Nice and Nicely Done, their first album on a label, which came out June 7, 2005 on Bar/None.
The Spintos, who’ve been irreverently self-described as anything from “lollipop” to “heat rock,” have been together for about eight years, with half of those spent scattered across the northeast due to differing college paths, says Jeffrey.
Following a swanky Pittsburgh show where the Spintos managed to deflower a preppy, martini-sipping crowd, they slung back their obligatory shares of on-the-house vodka (mustn’t be rude), then beelined to a friend’s pad for some of what all bad-ass bands crave in the early a.m.

 Splendid: Features: Spinto Band
Members of the Spinto Band have been recording music together since before they could drive, before they had to shave and before they likely had any direct experience of the girls they dedicated their power pop anthems to.

Maybe it was the ridiculous deer-caught-in-stage-lights expression on one of the lead vocalist's faces, or the fact that Spinto didn't enjoy the home field advantage the Feathers did, but when Spinto came back for an encore, it seemed anti-climatic.
The biggest fault of their gig was that "Oh Mandy", likely Spinto's greatest contribution to the musical canon, was buried in the middle of their set, robbing it of the recognition it deserves.

As my Last.fm contests, barely a day has gone by in the past three months where I haven't listened to at least one track from The Spinto Band's superlative Nice And Nicely Done LP, and more often that not 'Oh Mandy' is first pick.
Put simply, this is the kind of song that can blow away the dark clouds and make the worst of days seem glorious, lifting the spirits of all within hearing distance.
Propelled by a deceptively simple mandolin riff and featuring one of those delectably repeatable choruses you can't help but provide your own backing vocals to, 'Oh Mandy' is a tune bearing all the quirky hallmarks of the Spintos but packs its own pop punch.
