Biography

This group originally appeared in New York City as Daughter, a punk-hybrid collective composed of Mike Linn (drums), Cezhan Ambrose (guitar), Joe Fiorentino (guitar), Nicole Lombardi (vocals, bass), and ML Platt (vocals). Nicole Lombardi (vocals, bass) and ML Platt (vocals, guitar, production) continued on as a duo, naming themselves Spalding Rockwell. ML Platt grew up in New York City. ML was primarily influenced by hip-hop, especially Black Sheep, Cypress Hill and Wu-Tang Clan. Later she was inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix. Nikki was influenced by the |punk]] scene. Spalding Rockwell first gained attention as a featured act on Larry Tee’s electroclash circuit. Their full-length LP Kate distributed by Defend Music in 2004 was entirely written, performed and produced by ML and Nikki. Most successful were their hit single collaborations with Armand Van Helden, "Hear My Name" which appeared on Van Helden's record "New York: A Mix Odyssey" in 2004 (released by Sony Southern Fried Records) and "Jenny" in 2005 (released by Ultra Records).
