ML grew up in New York City on heavy doses of Hip-Hop; namely Black Sheep, Cypress Hill and Wu-Tang Clan. Later, she found classic rock artists including Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix as a major source of her inspiration. Nikki grew up in Washington, D.C. and was heavily into Fugazi and the city’s punk scene. Her sister frequently dragged her out to hot spots like Tracks and the 930 Club to see artists like Dead Milkmen (her first concert) and a "Go" era Moby. Friends for over a decade, ML and Nikki formed the band over the dissatisfaction of where life was taking them.
Spalding Rockwell first gained attention as a featured act on Larry Tee’s electroclash circuit, and subsequently released the track "White Cotton Panties" on 2002’s Badd Inc. compilation. Being associated with the burgeoning electroclash scene also afforded the girls the opportunity to perform live on a big stage and to develop a fan base of NYC scenesters. However, Spalding Rockwell was never about just being an electroclash act or being pigeonholed into any one genre. Leaving electroclash to the hipsters in Brooklyn, Spalding Rockwell have been hard at work fine-tuning a sound that combines equal parts punk, electro and pop - It’s downright nasty. Think of it as Peaches times two without the fuck you’s.
Years of banging at the door results in the debut LP Kate; entirely written, performed and produced by the technically adept ML and Nikki. It hits you right away like a ton of bricks, as crunching metal chords meet nasty vocals on opening track, "Ingrid" and doesn’t let up again until the last track, "Outro" expires. Other notable tracks include "Masha," a dirty little girl of a song, supported by a raw, black lipstick electro-vibe; "Vicious," a perfect track for the dance floor, kicking it hard with seductive vocals and a deep beat that keeps you shaking; and "Kissing," an electro anthem for naughty boys and girls that like to have some fun. Turn up the bass for the full effect.
Spalding Rockwell’s live performance presents two distinctly female voices backed by electric drums, guitars, keys and bass. It’s not just a bunch of nice looking girls singing over a tape player. We’ve seen that many times before. Spalding Rockwell is different - they present a dynamic live show that’s balls-to-the-wall rock n’ roll. ML and Nikki wouldn’t have it any other way.
You’ll get your chance to see the Spalding Rockwell live show later this summer when they embark on an extensive North American tour in support of Kate. In the meantime, they’ll be playing a one-off gig at NYC‘s Lit on August 3rd. Come check them out before the tour starts, because its only a matter of time before they blow things up. You don’t want to miss it!
It’s been a pretty wild ride for Spalding Rockwell. They’ve conquered electroclash, they are a big part of arguably the hottest dance single of the year and they are about to release their own album. Oh, we forgot to mention that they can be seen as part of a national Ben Sherman print campaign. Remember, ML and Nikki are really nice to look at in addition to being really talented musicians (pictures and additional information can be found at www.spaldingrockwell.com.)

Spalding Rockwell Lyrics

Hear My Name You've been through it all Nothing has to change Take it all…
Vicious (You wanna get me?!, you wanna get me?!, Come on and…
ML from Spalding Rockwell
on Vicious
This is ML from Spalding Rockwell... Here are the lyrics. Thank you for posting this song. xoxo
(You wanna get me?!, you wanna get me?!,
Come on and get me!, you wanna get me?!)
I... i
She wants her hair down, she wants it by now
She cannot let HIM, but IT wont get HIM
And i wont send you... and i wont send you BRAY ("BRAVE")
He's breaking the NIGHT, LICKING the line, nothing to say to me
And im OPENING wide, giving IT time, HOPING YOU'LL LIE TO ME
And he's SOMETHING to try, SOMETHING TO BUY, SOMETHING IT PAYS TO BE
And im keeping his eyes out of the way, keeping his eyes from me
She wants her hair down, she wants it by now
She cannot let HIM, but IT wont get HIM
And i wont send you... and i wont send you BRAY ("BRAVE")
He's DEEP IN the night, KISSING THE LIGHT, KEEPING AWAY FROM ME
And im hoping HE TRIES, cover your eyes, LINE UP THE WAY FOR ME)
And he's SOMETHING TO HIDE, SOMETHING inside, SOMETHING THAT PRAYS TO BE
And im keeping his eyes out of the way, keeping his eyes from me
Time is waiting for me HERE SO I CAN BELIEVE
speak to me in the night, watch HIM SING!)
AND HE found a way into the night, and taking all day
Time is waiting for me HERE SO I CAN BELIEVE (CAUSE I WANTED IT)
(Speak to me, speak to me)
Speak to me in the night
[YOU WANNA GET ME?]
HE FOUND A WAY INTO THE NIGHT BREAKING THE DAY
[YOU WANNA GET ME?]
She wants her hair down, she wants it by now
She cannot let HIM, but IT wont get HIM
And i wont send you... and i wont send you BRAY ("BRAVE")
WHY HE SO ADDICTIVE? THAT'S WHY THEY CALL HIM VICIOUS
AND WHY'S HE BLOWING KISSES AT ME
WHY HE SO DELICIOUS? AND WHY'S HE ALWAYS MISSING?
AND WHY'S HE ALWAYS LOOKING AT ME?
(Come on and get me!!!!) (come on and get me!!) ouuu ouuu
Speak to me! speak to me! Ouuu speak to me!
(You wanna get me?!) (come on and get me!!)
