Brody Dalle announces new band

The Distillers frontwoman has a new project on the go

Details of Distillers frontwoman Brody Dalle's new band has emerged.

Spinnerette will consist of Dalle, The Distillers member Tony Bevilacqua, and Alain Johannes, who has worked with the likes of PJ Harvey and Eagles Of Death Metal.

Speaking about the reasons for recording her new songs with a new band, and not The Distillers, Dalle told NME.COM: “The songs seemed out of context and inappropriate for The Distillers. I felt ambivalent about sharing them with anyone.”

Dalle explained the difference in the sound of her new band.

She stated: “Spinnerette get a clean slate. She gets to start over and be the new kid in town, only she ain’t no kid. She’s quirky and sexy and she fucks around.”

However, Dalle was quick to point out that The Distillers had not broken up, but still exist “just not as you know it”. They have not made an album since's 2003's 'Coral Fang'.

Spinnerette are set to record their debut album in Los Angeles. No release date has yet been announced.
