The Spiral Electric

The Spiral Electric are a well-established light in San Francisco's rock firmament, bringing a powerful and exciting combination of dark, melodic psychedelia and visceral passion to the stage and studio. Celebrated by reknowned stoner-rock blog The Obelisk as "a band ready, willing, and able to space the hell out", who "bridge the generally disparate realms of heavy psych and riffer heavy rock", they alchemize soaring, memorable vocal melodies, wailing reverb-drenched garage twang, blistering stoner fuzz, dreamy keyboard textures, thundering bass grooves, and foot-stomping/air-punching rhythms into a fresh and original sound.

Their catalogue includes three releases-- from debut Upon Your Shore and second album Ask the Sky (both recorded with Tommy Dietrick of SKY PARADE), to their most recent-- titled simply The Spiral Electric, a double-album (recorded with Steve Kille of Dead Meadow).

They have played with bands like King Buffalo, Dead Meadow, Black Mountain, The Kills, Stöner, Yawning Man, Spindrift, Swervedriver, Here Lies Man, The Dandy Warhols, The Asteroid No.4, Ringo Deathstarr, New Candys, Turn Me On Dead Man, Mondo Drag, The Freeks, and Lumerians.

The band currently consists of founding members and songwriters Clay Andrews (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards) and Nicolas Percey (Guitar), with Matias Drago (Drums), and Ryan McKnight (Bass). Their 4th LP was recorded with the late Steve Kille again at the helm, for a projected 2025 release.
