History

Spitboy was founded by drummer Michelle "Todd" Gonzales, vocalist Adrienne Droogas, bassist Paula Hibbs-Rines, and guitarist Karin Gembus. Paula left the band before the release of the Rasana 7-inch EP and was replaced by Dominique Davison.

The band toured the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Their records were released on prominent punk rock labels Lookout Records,[1] Allied Recordings,[1] and Ebullition Records, including a split LP with the Chicago-based hardcore group Los Crudos.[1]

After the breakup of the group, Davison, Gonzales, and Gembus played together in the group Instant Girl,

Aus Rotten[1] and then moved to Richmond, Virginia. She also wrote columns for the punk zines Heartattack and Profane Existence. Davison is now an architect and owner of Draw in Kansas City.[3] Gonzales teaches English at Las Positas College in Livermore, California,[2] has published zines and memoirs on her time in Spitboy.[2]

In April 2021, it was announced that the band would be releasing their complete discography as a new compilation, Body of Work (1990-1995), released by Don Giovanni Records on June 25.[4] The first single, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", was released in May 2021.[5]
