Spare Snare have been releasing music (independently) since 1992. Were it not for a few well-timed and inspiring posts in the blogosphere in 2022, they may have continued to fly under my radar. Thirty years late, but a helluva back catalogue to dive back into.
Super Slinky is one of the tracks that's been highlighted, once via the original version from 1995's debut album Live At Home and again via the 2018 re-recording with Steve Albini on the Sounds album. Both are pretty special, as is the live version which heads up this post, from the Homegame Festival in Anstruther, Fife on 12th March 2010.
Spare Snare's extensive back catalogue is available on Bandcamp, with some ridiculously reasonable prices for digital and CD formats - both of the aforementioned albums are on sale for £3.00 and £5.00 respectively. Some releases also have vinyl and cassette formats remaining.
Spare Snare started recording a new album in October 2022, Steve Albini back in the studio, for a release in Spring 2023. I'm hoping that a tour will be forthcoming, with some dates in my neck of the woods. I'd love to see them live in concert.
