We bring a long running series of heavy videos from Spindrift’s “Classic Soundtracks Vol. 1″ to a close with a light hearted “Round Up.” It’s the directorial debut of the band’s own Sasha Vallely who had such a riot working with the wild roster of directors on previous videos for the album that she decided…
The last video in Spindrift’s “Classic Soundtracks Vol. 1″ series features their baddest jam yet. “Theme From Drifter’s Pass” is eight minutes of psychedelic cowboys and wizardry directed by Lavender Lee (aka Abigail Bean). “The song has an incantatory trance like feel to the whole first half until it just explodes into a wildness harnessed…
For the latest in Spindrift’s ambitious “Classic Soundtracks Vol. 1″ series, directors Jean Balest and Sam Barnett bring Spindrift’s music to B movie Pop art and the era of Ed Wood Hollywood camp. Spindrift’s score sets the tone, their psychedelic compositions taking a turn into horror here while Balest and Barnett conjure up a freak…

Largely unknown photographer Stanley Sanger is a cryptic and enigmatic figure. Born in Mojave, CA in 1955, he was raised by his uncle after his parents suffered a fatal car accident mere weeks after his birth. Having known his family only through photographs, Stanley became obsessed with the medium. He spoke little and was never…
Vigilante director J.X. Williams is best known for his 1965 “found footage” picture, “Peep Show,” which made liberal use of scenes from other films in it’s assemblage. Williams’ story then takes a turn into shadowy late 60′s conspiracies, mafia connections and other intrigues fit for the silver screen, before he flees to Zurich where he’s…
At one time or another LA’s western psyche posse, Spindrift, has been associated with just about every big psyche band from Austin to San Fransisco. Early players included members of Psychic TV, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Warlocks.
