The Cleanspoons

In 1995 there were two friends who got the bright idea that they would be the next great music legends. Mike and John went out, got there guitars, found an Organ and Drum kit and went on to start the Dream that is The Cleanspoons. So there we were, in the car on the way to an Eagles concert and those now legendary words were said. "What's it like to be in that great new band, The Cleanspoons?" Thats all it took. We recorded an album after school throughout 95 and 96 until John moved to the ATL. No, the story didn't stop there. Knowing that the Cleanspoons would go on forever, I started looking for a new band. First there was Ryan on the Drums, Some dude that played Keys and Onion. As if that wasn't enough, Roger played the bass. Some Dude quite. Onion Quit. We recorded another album. Played some shows, got payed a bit. Don The Fuzzy-Headed dude Joined up. Don The Fuzzy-Headed Dude Quit. Recorded another album. Played more gigs. Ryan Quit. Joe joined. We watched some Big Bikers Pummel each other. Band went on a break. I moved to Atlanta. Me, John and Shawn reformed Cleanspoons. Band went on break. Time Passed and band got back together. We played in the basement for a few months. John joined the Circus. John came back. Shawn left. Some Dude the Sequel Joined. Spoons went on break. December 2007, Cleanspoons Rog and Mike get together for a jam session and within minutes, have the beginnings of a new album started with some cool riffs put to tape. Also, Cleanspoon Fran and Mike get back in the studio to finish off (I'm in a) Sad Way for said new album. That song was started in 2002 and just finished now. Cleanspoon Mike Finished "Out of my Mind" Written in 1999 but never put to tape. Also Started working on a couple other tunes recorded during the past couple years but never completed. Fran has started lyrics for another Spoon Song Recorded in 2004 During a band Practice. Mike has layed down the majority of "Two Arms to Hold You" Written in 1995 but not touched in all these years due to not fitting in with the sound of the Spoons at and previous time. A Folk-Rock album with some Heavier touches seems to be the current durection right now but only time will tell what happens next...
