"Spacecamp started in 2008 after writing the song "Red Finger", a protest to the rigged-voting practices under President Robert Mugabe in Zimbawe. This song, stuffed with drum fills, up-tempo-ballsy-guitar-riffs, and four part harmonies, sparked a strong relationship between members Jon Wiley, Steven Mertens, and Chris Egan; giving way to almost no creative limitations; point in case, their next song (which was written in the summer of '08 in both Denmark and Holland while on tour as Anti Folk hero Adam Green's band) would be titled "Girls on Bikes", a literal ode to girls on bikes. Touring was nothing new to Wiley, Mertens, and Egan, who all had equal part road warrior:
Mertens was part of the Moldy Peaches and with Adam Green since 2001. Wiley spent a good chunk of time with The Honorary Title. Egan spent a brief moment with 'The Honory Title' but really cut his teeth as the drummer for Say Hi To Your Mom.
In the summer of '08 while in Berlin with Adam Green, Spacecamp met Dev Hynes of Lightspeed Champion. Dev, a native Brit, had decided to move to NYC in the fall and record his second Lightspeed Champion record. When he did, he asked Spacecamp to record nearly all the music for the album. The band was flattered and recording took place in January of 2009 at Brooklyn's Mission sound.
One night while in the studio, Spacecamp took advantage of Producer Ben Allen's mic. set-up and recorded two songs after paying the assistant to secretly run the session; the results were the songs, "Miko D.T.B." and "Teen Idol". "Teen Idol" would later be mixed by Ben Allen.
2010 proved a busy year for Spacecamp. While on tour with both Adam Green and 'Lightspeed Champion' intermittently, they began filming "The Wrong Ferrari", later pegged a screwball tragedy. The movie, solely filmed on the iPhone, became a serious attempt at a full-length movie when actor Macaulay Culkin and musician Jack Dishel joined Adam and Spacecamp on tour in Germany; the movie was released online to find great success.
2010 also marked the addition of fourth member, James Pollis, after realizing the mutual respect the band and James had for each other as musicians."

Brooklyn band Gold Lake have just finished recording what will be their debut album, mixed by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Walkmen, Father John Misty). Founding members, Carlos and Lua, met in Carlos' hip night club in Madrid in the midst of the Spanish capital's music scene. Shortly after moving to Brooklyn they met Dave Burnett and started Gold Lake, playing Filter Magazine's
Culture Collide Festival in LA, NXNE festival in Toronto, etc... soon after starting the band.
