v Spy v Spy

[TheLoris]

I know this is old school but these guys are the forgotten Aussie rock band of the late 80's/90's.

I freakin love these guys and they are so worth a listen, buy/download their greatist hits or xenaphobia why and you won't be disappointed...

Would be interested what other people think of them..

I saw them live a few times supporting Midnight Oil (early-mid 80's) and they were a fantastic live band but such was my teenage obsession with all things Midnight Oil I didn't ever buy a Spy v Spy album.

If my memory serves me correctly they had to add the additional v to avoid litigation from the MAD comic people???

Someone might remember that better than me.

I thought they were average to be honest. Know a fair few people in Sydney who used to see them play the pub circuit regularly and they rate the Spys.

This used to get a fair run on Rage:
