Music For Spies, Thighs & Private Eyes

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
THE MISSION:
SPY-FI is dedicated to the advancement of spy, detective and surf instrumental music. They are focused on performing interpretive versions of classic spy and detective songs, as well as writing new instrumental music for film, television and soundscapes.
WHAT'S SPY YOU SAY?
Spy Music is that derived from the famous spy/detective movies and shows from the '50's, '60's and '70's. Familiar themes include the James Bond Theme, Goldfinger, Hawaii 5-0, Perry Mason, Mission Impossible, Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Peter Gunn. See! You knew it all along.
WHY NO VOCALIST?
Typically, the theme music in this genre has no vocals, although there are several examples of vocal tunes. If you know of a leggy femme fatale who's a chanteuse wannabe... give us call. We'd love to work a vocalist into our act. She's got to be able to hold a martini glass with style, or else FORGET it.
THE DOSSIER:
Spy-Fi was founded in July 1996 by Tommy Tremolo/guitarist) and Mick "Batman"/bassist. It's mission was to perform Spy Music anytime, anywhere they could. As always, if they embarrassed themselves, their mothers would disavow any knowledge of their actions.
