Spokane
Biography
Spokane was a slowcore band formed by singer-songwriter Rick Alverson in Richmond, Virginia, after the dissolution of his previous 10-member project Drunk. He founded the outfit in 1999 '..with the intention of exploring that small, quiet, sometimes disturbing (and most often ignored) space in life between events and behind the glare of the overly mentionable, and as a vehicle to stand (however quietly) in objection to the West's cultural addiction to the fast, loud and ostentatious'.
