Former Distillers founder Brody Dalle is returning to work after motherhood with a new band called Spinnerette.
Dalle had been "on maternal leave" from rock and roll since the birth of her daughter Camille in 2005. She is married to Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.The Melbourne born Australian singer says she is looking forward to getting back to work. "Music is so much a part of who I am at my core," she said in a statement. "I had been storing so many ideas, soaking up everything like a sponge. Now I'm working on some of the most articulate music and lyrics I've written."
Spinnerette features former Distillers member Tony Bevilacqua as well as producer Alain Johannes.
Dalle says she decided to start a new band instead of resurrecting The Distillers to "get a clean slate". "I've evolved," she explains. "And musically speaking, there are other ways to get your point across. Before I had a baby, I felt 13 years old emotionally, constantly tortured by my own reactionary behavior. It's impossible for one to stay in this state and offer the world something more. I ain't no teenage girl - have you seen my a**? It ain't waif-ish!"
Spinnerette will start recording their debut album this month in Los Angeles.
