Spidergawd, 10 March 2024

Spidergawd is a rock band formed in Trondheim, Norway in 2013. The founding fathers of the beast was Per Borten (Cadillac & Moving Oos) on guitars and vocals, Bent Sæther (Motorpsycho, The International Tussler Society & Sugarfoot) on bass, Rolf Martin Snustad (Hopalong Knut, Samvirkelaget & Northern Star Groove Alliance) on saxophones and Kenneth Kapstad (Motorpsycho, Monolithic, God Seed & Gåte) on drums. On June 1 2016 it was announced that Bent Sæther was leaving the band to have more time for his other projects. The band brought on Hallvard Gaardløs (Orango) as a fulltime bassist, who had been touring with the band in support of the Spidergawd III album.

They released their debut album Spidergawd on 31 January 2014, and their sophomore album Spidergawd II on 16 January 2015. The next album, appropriately called Spidergawd III, was released 22 January 2016. The band has been touring Norway, Germany, The Netherlands and Italy on grounds familiar to Motorpsycho, which are hungry for more Norwegian rock.
