Mystical Spatula!

About Me

Mystical Spatula! is an all out audio assault by singer/songwriter John Whipple. Using a loop pedal and several instruments, Whipple improvises live and exotic soundscapes. Centered around his bottleneck steel guitar, his music resurrects some of the vibe of the late sixties acid rock along with a new take on very dark trip hop.I edited my profile with spaghetti and clutch kits
