Die Spitz are blazing their own trail in the independent music scene. The band was formed in 2022 when Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe Andrews, Ellie Livingston, and Kate Halter decided to combine their talents into a unique band with an even more unique name. Speaking on how the band formed, all four members agreed: "It was a joke." And while the name is a matter of speculation – possible inspiration stemming from The Spits or German word 'Die Spitze' (The Point) – the truth is: "The name came from a brown paper bag," said Ellie Livingston, while sharing the keys to the band's unique sound: "Having a good rhythm section!"
Hailing from Austin, Texas, Die Spitz continues the legacy of influential acts such as L7, Bikini Kill, the Coathangers, and Bratmobile. Speaking on the Austin scene, vocalist Ava Schrobilgen said: "There's a band out there that we sound nothing like, called Being Dead, but I love them. Also Farmer's Wife and Party Van." After initially finding their way on Austin's live music circuit, Die Spitz soon realized it was time to take things to the next level: "We got a tour manager when we triple-booked ourselves accidentally," said Schrobilgen.
The band has been on tour and spreading the word ever since. At the Punk Rock Bowling Festival in Vegas, Die Spitz hit the stage in a sold-out show at Backstage Bar & Billiards. Living the life of rock stars on the road, Die Spitz is currently on tour with Teen Mortgage. Asked about their mode of transportation, Kate Halter shared that she actually acts as the designated driver on all trips: "It's my passion. Music actually comes second."
