| FLIES ARE SPIES FROM HELL Recently finished a tour with Red Paper Dragon. Cheers to everyone who came out and to all the promoters (nearly all of whom were excellent). Check out the bands we shared stages with : From The Sky, 50ft Panda, fbcfabric & reindeer, Sweat Mouth, Anderson, Dharma Bums, Elephants on Acid, And So I Watch You From Afar. It was great to spend so much time playing with and drinking with all these guys (especially the mighty Red Paper Dragon). Flies Are Spies From Hell began around the Summer of 2004, when we first started jamming with Fred (keys) and writing more instrumentally (we still had a singer then). Our first gig was at the infamous Crown and Cushion, Haslemere, on 2nd October 04. Since then we've played all over including Leeds, London, Chichester, Oxford, Brighton, Bognor, Guildford, Southampton..... Basically we get together in our mates old gym, have a laugh, get pissed quite a bit, and jam music until they become songs. Some of these we record onto EPs and most get played live at some point or another. Simple really. We don’t wear sunglasses at night. Some of the bands we have been fortunate enough to share a stage with are Russian Circles, Witches, They Don't Sleep, Last Days of Lorca, AndNoStar, UpCDownC, *Shels, Everyone to the Anderson, Our Own Devices. What we love most of all is playing gigs with promoters who put on great nights with original bands from a similar genre. Swiss concrete, My Analogue and the guys at the Joiners are great examples of such promoters. -- Cheers to Organ for supporting us since our first demo. Cheers to Sean for playing us on resonancefm, Huw at Radio 1, Milly at SpiritFM, and Plug in Brighton -- These nice people said these nice things : "Great piano led instrumentals from the moment they invade the stage to the moment I catch my breath afterwards." Ejector Seat. "Creating slow-building brooding and uplifting soundscapes to an enthusiastic crowd. Flies put 100% into it tonight, working up a small maelstrom on their final number." Organ magazine (myspace.com/organ – Go there now!) "Opening proceedings tonight are the stellar Flies are Spies From Hell. Within two songs they pretty much win the Creation of Atmosphere competition and have the already-jammed venue salivating with their impending doom-style narrative. . All things considered, you could not hope for a better opener, and one that with any luck will be headlining in the near future." www.oxfordbands.com “There's a simplicity and innocence in their big landscapes, a simplicity that lets the music speak for itself; with a lot of bands moving toward or emerging playing instrumental art rock, you get a whiff or chinstroking and/or elitism and/or missing the point. Flies Are Spies From Hell have none of that - they just admit to liking A Silver Mount Zion a bit too much and wanting to lose themself in those mini-epics they write. Open, compelling instrumental rock.” - Organ again. "Very scan-rock has it’s balls drop, grit on the glacial calm." (!) unpeeled.co.uk.
