About
The Spinanes formed in Portland Oregon in 1991 when Rebecca Gates guitar/vocals started playing with Scott Plouf (drums). In 1993 they released their first album with Sub Pop, the acclaimed disc "Manos". In 1996 "Strand" followed , and after the departure of Plouf, who left to handle drum duties in Built to Spill, Rebecca relocated to Chicago and issued "Arches and Aisles".
Rebecca Gates is joined by Chicago musicians John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake), Noel Kupersmith (Brokeback, The Chicago Underground Quartet), Mikael Jorgensen (Movere Workshop) and Brian Deck (Califone, Red Red Meat). Production is handled by Rebecca with the assistance of John McEntire (Stereolab, Tortoise) and Brian Deck (Modest Mouse).
Rebecca Gates has performed on the Conan O' Brien show and toured with The Afghan Whigs, Sam Prekop, Luna, Liz Phair, Stereolab, Morphine, Codeine and other seminal artists. She sang on Elliott Smith's debut album and he returned the favor by joining her on The Spinanes' album "Strand."
"There's nothing contrived about Gates' evocative intonations on the intricate "I Received a Levitation" nor her genuine ability to balance love and lust on the striking "Lure and Cast." - Billboard.com

Ruby Series
After a decade steering college radio faves the Spinanes, alt-pop songstress Rebecca Gates comes out from behind that banner to deliver a confident and often breath-taking solo debut. At a mere seven songs, the brevity of "Ruby Series" is a shortcoming, but if the EP proves anything years after her former band's "Arches & Aisles" swansong, it's that some things really are worth the wait.
