Primarily starting out as the voice of the homeless squatters of early eighties Sydney SPY v SPY spoke for everyone who felt "under the thumb of the system", they told true stories of the common struggle that polite Australia didn't necessarily want to hear.
A formidable live act - the band cut its teeth in the early days opening for groups such as Midnight Oil, INXS, Hoodoo Gurus, Split Enz, the Models and Men At Work as well as gracing the stage with international artists U2, David Bowie, Simple Minds and The Clash.
Throughout the 80's the band released landmark recordings Meet Us Inside, Harry's Reasons, AO Mod TV Vers., Xenophobia[Why?], and Trash The Planet to critical acclaim.
In 2018 founding guitarist Michael Weiley reunited with original drummer Cliff Grigg.
Tragically Michael passed away shortly thereafter.
Move forward to 2024 and the band perform the songs as authentically and true to the original sounds that is SPY v SPY.
