Spinnerette Members, Gear & Sound

Spinnerette is an alternative rock project formed by Brody Dalle, the former lead vocalist and guitarist of The Distillers. Emerging from Los Angeles, the collaboration features Dalle on vocals and guitar, along with Tony Bevilacqua (guitar), Jack Irons (drums), and Alain Johannes (bass, production). The group is known for blending elements of punk rock, alternative, and riot grrrl influences, creating a sound that is both raw and melodically dynamic. Spinnerette's lineup has seen contributions from a variety of musicians, adding layers to their complex sonic identity.

Spinnerette's music is characterized by its energetic and gritty sound, marked by driving riffs and Dalle's distinctive, powerful vocals. The group's aggressive yet melodic vibe often leans on the crunchy distortion of guitars, a quality enhanced by Dalle's use of the Fender Mustang Electric Guitar and pedals like the EarthQuaker Devices Talons and Maxon SD-9 Sonic Distortion. The use of the Fender Bassman AB165 Amp adds a vintage, tube-driven warmth, which contrasts with the biting overdrive to create a rich, layered texture. Drummer Jack Irons complements this with dynamic, hard-hitting rhythms that drive the music forward, using gear like the Masters of Maple Handmade drum set for an organic yet impactful percussion backbone. This combination of elements results in a sound that is both visceral and anthemic, perfect for musicians seeking to channel the intensity and emotion of Spinnerette's music.
