Band member Nick Krill attended American University in Washington, DC. Krill started the band when he found CrackerJack boxes in his attic, with lyrics written by his relative, Roy Spinto. Hence the name The Spinto Band. Most of the other members went to college on the East Coast, some of them attending Syracuse University, and some of them Bennington College. While at American University, in his sophomore year, Krill turned his bed into a mini-recording studio, and actually slept under the frame, in order to allow it to hold all of his equipment. |
