                                Yeah thanks Bruce i had seen that site before.


                       I've got all the Spys clips on video somewhere....They were all played on Rage one night.....And a thoughtful mate, knowing that i was a fan, put a tape in and recorded it for me ....Unfortunately he could only do it on long play, so the quality isn't very good. So i should maybe look at downloading from that site.

                                 Did you happen to see the post that Blox wrote concerning his thoughts about the Spys reforming and touring with Mark Cuffe singing lead??  If you didn't, and would like a look, then let me know and i'll dig it out and email it to you.....To say that he is unimpressed is a huge understatement...

  You may be interested in this then.

  Blox posted on his youtube site
  http://www.youtube.com/user/hotziggettypancakes that he has the Spies vids
  all for download via one of the torrent engines. This is great as I have
  been after a copy of the Spy Files videos for ever. I still check eBay
  regularly hoping to snag one. I don't think I've even seen the Clarity of
  Mind clip - and we covered this in the band and were all over it. Check
  Cliffy out getting that snare hand nice and high like Rob. The site also has
  albums and some earlier live stuff and demos if you're hard core.

  there doesn't seem to be too many seeding the videos, but I will leave my
  download online and can probably cut dvd's too if needed.

  Put me down as a big S v S fan too....

  Was only listening to Xenophobia yesterday as
  a matter of fact....

  AO Mod TV Vers is a cracker of an album...... and
  would be great to see a doco. on it...... but the chances are slim

  Would have been good that one was done for Spy v Spy AO Mod TV Vers album.
  You refer to Silverchair being the most over rated oz band, well, I think
  the spies were the most under rated, unmarketed and under appreciated oz
  band of their time. They deserved more than what they got and I can still
  listen to their stuff as much as the oils and other bands mentioned in this
  thread.

  Earlier this year the series aired episodes on The Triffids' Born 
  Sandy Devotional, The Saints' I'm Stranded, Crowded House Woodface, 
  and yes, some god-awful silverchair rekurd (minus any mention of 
  mogine - i'm assuming that's the reason this most over-rated of 
  australian groups ever gets a mention here). In the latest 
  installments we saw The Go-Betweens 16 Lovers Lane, Nick Cave and The 
  Bad Seeds' Murder Ballads and Hunters' Human Frailty. IMO, with the 
  exception of SC, this was fairly well put together series, though 
  certainly a doco on 10-1 would be a welcome addition (along with The 
  Church Starfish, Radio Birdman Radios Appear, Skyhooks Living in the 
  70s, Hoodoo Gurus Stoneage Romeos etc). 

  I found an earlier comment about Mushroom's involvement maybe 
  precluding any featuring of the Oils interesting. Both Mushroom's 
  Gudinski and aussie music uber-jurno Toby Cresswell were instrumental 
  in the series. If not snubbed by Mushroom, I wonder whether the Oils 
  very unpopular (within the local industry) anti-establishment stance 
  in their earlry years has done their dash?
