As the popularity of Spinach was growing the world famous “Whisky a GoGo” offered us residency for hosting a Weekly rendez-vous with the top local groups called “The Neighborhood”. At the time Spinach was a breath of fresh air on the L.A scene. Coming out with a very different approche than the regular power trio or four piece band that had become normality. Layers of electronic music, sequencing and sampling techniques, the addition of a DJ’ Turntablist and various guest musicians added character, sound scapes and colorful arrangements to the sound of Spinach giving it an immediate edge and popularity. The musical climate rapidly changed as many bands jum ped on the band wagon and introduced similar fashion.The audience was very responsive of the new “Techrock” sound !!!!!!
