HIGHLIGHT Spinanes’ album, Manos was number one on the college charts. “We were touring before the album came out, as it was exploding all over. But we were just seeing the inside of the van playing shows and having a good time. Then we got home and the locals thrust us on TV and we were at number one. It was extremely funny. We had never even considered it.” – Rebecca Gates
