Editing Spatula Death

Spatula Death formed in Hamilton in 1991 and released a cassette entitled "[[We Are Spatula]]".  The band's members were [[Justin Harris]] (vocals, guitars, drum programming, noise), [[Scott Schneebeli]] (guitars, vocals, noise) and [[Scott Brodie]] (production, noises).<br>

Post-1993 they often performed as a five piece, including [[Gary Clare]] and [[Matt Gould]], although had enough "peripheral" members to potentially perform as an eight piece.  For a number of years they organised annual music events, under the guise of the [[Spatula Death Battle of the Bands]], which was started when Spatula Death didn't win the 1995 [[Contact 89FM]] BOB and started their own competition which they would win. Spatula Death won every year. The scoring for the competition was based on how many members of Spatula Death were in a band, with 1 point being assigned for any member. The closest another band got to winning was Groll in 1996, who shared two members with Spatula Death and therefore got two points. <br>

Three songs recorded "live-to-air" on [[Contact 89FM]] can be found on [[Inside the Wireless]]<br>

Spatula Death ceased playing in 1995, with their last gig at the 1995 [[Spatula Death Battle of the Bands]].  Justin and Scott B later formed [[Inchworm]] with [[Rob Talsma]].
