Dublin rock band Spies have been on a roll impressing left, right and centre with great singles and live shows with conviction, as demonstrated at Electric Picnic recently. Mining the indie-rock of the past, they successfully translate that mood to a new time.
Their new video directed by Bob Gallagher, manages to do the same, by taking an old technique I haven’t seen in a while by presenting the dancers Michael Burns & Kate Finegan without their features and in only their clothing.
‘Moosehead’ is available on 7″ through on Bandcamp. The band’s next show is at HWCH.
