I Spy is a local rock band and lead by the charismatic, Andy Shades. He is a UK singer, songwriter who writes all the songs and leads this group. The core of Larry on Keys, Andy- Acoustic guitar, Sax, all vocals, and Gino on Bass has been set for some years and I usually see them at least 2x a year. They are a fun band that mix high energy music with more laid back songs. A lot of political and ecological and other themes are sung about in his songs. The band mix a bit of jamming as well especially when Andy grabs the sax. Tonight they had a new lead guitar player (maybe the best they have had) and a drummer, that has played with Andy in the past. Usually it has been Rob..
Anyway, a lot of new songs that I had not heard were played this night. On this day they released the first studio material that has been recorded over the last 3 years in Andy´s studio. See link below.
I think all the 4 songs on the EP were played. It was a big crowd of about 80 people at Toca (it was opening of the new camping season) but only about 25 inside the bar where the band playing and really focused on the band. They were really good this night. I did not see the full set though. A very good local band. Always good live.. Too political for some people but Andy was in a good mood and having fun and no sound problems to get him angry!! Fun.. saw lots of friends..
