Spatula

Spatula was a band active in Chapel Hill, NC from 1992 until 1998 and consisted of Chuck Johnson on guitar, Matt Gocke on drums, and Chris Eubank on cello and bass. They released 4 full-length recordings on the Jesus Christ and Squealer labels and numerous singles and compilation tracks. They formed in the heyday of Chapel Hill indie rock and subsequently developed their own niche within the late-90s “post-rock” milieu. Their music was characterized by dynamic, often bombastic forms contrasted with pastoral melodies.
