Spo-it's was born in Savannah Georgia 1990 on John Wayne Gacy's Birthday March 17 (which also happens to be St. Patrick's Day) by Scott Corkern and E Jason Gibbs. Both of whom were spoken word performers and trouble makers. Disgusted by the suit wearin' wine sippin' mutherfuckers who haunt the typical spoken word gig, the idea was to put together a project that could mascrade as a band and play in bars. The next month they sold out the crossroads ,their first bar gig , on a Tuesday night and were requested to never show their face in there again. Spo-it's have turned their writings of violence, psyhopathology, destruction and sex into direct action. With a revolving cast of musicians and writers the Spo-it's have played every venue from the Whiskey in LA to CBGB's and The Knitting Factory in NYC and all points in between. Their live shows have included live beatings, robots engaged in mechanical sex acts, Volunteers from the audience set on fire, and many exploded TV's . Audience participation is a big part of Spo-it's shows. we always ask for volunteers to get tied up and beaten by JEN (and there are always volunteers) . We have had folks bring instruments to the shows. We will have an extra chain and grinder or two for folks to help in the destruction. and if someone is really into it I might let them play the Grindertar. People are always bringing TV's to destroy. I use the Term Exploitation music as an attempt to put what Spo-it's in one word. The audience is both attracted and repulsed by themes. Now with our appearance on the Jerry Springer show we have become part of the prurient media exploitation frenzy that we had only observed before. to buy on Itunes The Spo-it's: Free Sex
