December 18, 2008SPICE AND THE RJ BAND — the new project featuring vocalist/songwriter Spice (KAISER, ex-SPIRITUAL BEGGARS) and drummer Bob Ruben (KAYSER, THE MUSHROOM RIVER BAND) — will release its sophomore album, "Shave Your Fear", in February 2009 on Scarlet Records. The CD consists of 15 songs with influences from such diverse bands as BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN, THIN LIZZY, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, KYUSS and the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.
Commented Spice: "I believe it is a good album to work out to, drink to, get high to, make love to, masturbate to, cut your toe nails to, take your dog for a walk to, arguing with your neighbor while standing in your dirty underwear at four o' clock in the morning to... I believe it's a good album for a lot of purposes. Just take your time."
Night Of The Vinyl Dead has released the debut album from SPICE AND THE RJ BAND on limited-edition white vinyl. Only 300 pieces are available of the LP, entitled "The Will", which was released on CD in 2007 via Scarlet Records. According to a press release, the band "is driven by an insane passion for '70s psychedelic, soul, blues, hard rock sound that never went away."
Commented Spice: "SPICE AND THE RJ BAND is my solo band. The 'R' stands for 'Bob Ruben' and the 'J' stands for 'Johann.' Johann is an old friend and an ex-roadie of a band I used to play with a couple of years ago. [In 2006] I opened an old door which led into other doors… which I decided to walk through… What I'm trying to say is, that instead of seeking riff I wanted my fingers to play, I started to let the music lead me. No genre orientated. I just let it all come out. In all kinds of beautiful shapes."
