About Me

ESPIONAGE101 RIK MARSTON (VOCALS/SYNTHS) MIKE MCADAMS (SYNTHS & BRAINS)
Formed in the 90's in L.A. under the name "ESPIONAGE", the band has regrouped recently and have begun work on the album "ELECTRONIC BODY MUSIC". Plans are to have the album out this year. While currently not signed, the band will either look to some Labels for support - or will self publish. We wait for no label - we push forward. Wanting to generate new buzz, and just connect with fans - Rik decided to bring us into the "MYSPACE" world. So here we are - setting up shop, so to speak. We have posted TWO songs so far and have gotten a lot of positive feedback. After we finish with recording and producing the album we will alert fans on this page - and should have some new stuff to demo. We are working overtime talking to fans and trying to get the word out. YES - we really are the ones you talk to when you msg us... we decided we didn't want to have that "WALL" that can sometimes be built by a band by having someone "Handle" our msgs. So you may see us say some crazy shit... and it's really us! We have also set up personal pages - and if you have been added there and find yourself here ... please ask for a request. We would love to have you here as well! Feel free to add our song to your playlist on your MYSPACE page. We need all the help we can get...and we will remember those fans who help! Without fans we are nothing... you give us life... allow us to grow. We have some really great songs lined up. If you like our music even a little now, just wait until you hear the new stuff...its worth checking out!Signed Rik & Mike of Espionage101
P L E A S E N O T E We have disabled the HTML in the comments for now. You can still post your crazy pics on our personal pages..but since we have some links coming in from some very tame places we felt they might not enjoy all of the wild pics as much as we do.
