bandvita:
norbert, thomas and uli played in different formations
from the rhein-neckar-area, steve and thomas worked
on diverse studio-projects together, smitty d. was no stranger
within the new york underground/hip-hop scene before coming
to germany.

spinelli XYZee was founded by norbert and thomas
PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND RAP was born!

with some material arranged by norbert and thomas
they went to steve in his analog 8-track-studio in ladenburg/heidelberg.
the influence of steve robinson (former AERA band member) made a great
impact on the originality of the project, new songs emerged in 1993 in berlin
where the collaboration with jost hohenberg started.

the interest of producers / labels was huge, but there was a lack of capturing the soul of the music.

WE DIDN´T GO FOR IT - NO DEAL!

spinelli was buried and disappeared 30 years
before reincarnation in 2023

THE SPIRIT OF PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND
