Description
IN TIMES WHERE THE PACKAGING, THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COLOUR PRESSINGS, THE MOST LIMITED CIRCULATION AND THE CRAPIEST SOUND SEEMS TO BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ABILITY TO WRITE A GREAT, SIMPLE AND DEAD CATCHY TUNE, MARK & THE SPIES ENTER THE SCENE TO PROVE ALL YOU SELF-APPOINTED ROCK’N’ROLL EXPERTS WRONG, WITH THEIR AWESOME BLEND OF PURE CRYSTALLINE 60’S POP AND CLASSIC GARAGE-BEAT. MARK & THE SPIES, THESE NEW SIXTIES BEAT HITMAKERS, HAILING FROM A DAMNED LITTLE VILLAGE CALLED VEENENDAAL IN THE NETHERLANDS. THEY STARTED OUT AS A ROCK’N’ROLL TRIO, ONLY HAVING A FEW VOCAL SONGS, BUT MOSTLY INSTRUMENTAL LINK WRAY KINDA STUFF. AFTER SOME GIGS THEY BROKE UP, REUNITED AND BROKE UP AGAIN. AFTER THAT MARK (BASS/VOCALS) AND ARJAN (GUITAR/VOCALS) STARTED WRITING SONGS OF THEIR OWN. THEY FOUND THEMSELVES A NEW DRUMMER (GERRIT), A KEYBOARD/SAXOPHONE PLAYER (JELLE) AND THINGS GOT FINALLY PUSHED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AT THE BEGINNING OF 2007 THEIR FIRST OFFICIAL RELEASE SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY, A 7” EP ON THE SPANISH LABEL BUTTERFLY RECORDS AND PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE GLOBE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO RAVE ABOUT IT. “THEIR TUNES WILL STICK IN YOUR BRAIN...FOREVER!!!”
