Saw them live at The Great Northern in St Ives back in the day, they were awesome liveI've been a massive V SPY V SPY fan since year 9 and have always collected their releases, plus promos, posters etc. This one however has eluded me for many years, having only ever seen one copy, on the wall of Phantom Records circa 1986/87. I finally took ownership today. Absolutely stoked, this is something of a holy grail for me. V SPY V SPY 'Six Fresh Lemons', NZ only release on STUNN Records, 1982.

...quite liked that.did not disappoint in its fugazi-nessProbably behind here, but Ian MacKaye has a new thing going on.
Thanks for that. MT and Fugazi were a couple of my go-to bands back in the day, but had lost all contact with them late 90’s before they went to ground.Probably behind here, but Ian MacKaye has a new thing going on.
For sure.Yeah it’s a million miles from minor threat but still has Mackaye’s sig all over it. Been around for a few years apparently but I’ve only just stumbled upon them.
I was the complete opposite. Had total respect for his message and ethos but couldn’t stand the way he pushed that message out. I briefly met him at a punk house Fugszi we’re staying at years ago and he was unbearable.For sure.
I always found myself somehow more interested in Ian’s ethos and attitude than strictly his music. Those he influenced have probably had more impact on me than him directly. That sounds very self canceling .
Still massive respect for him and his work.
I mean the DYI, anti excess stance. I’m sure he would be a right grizzle guts and killjoy to be around.I was the complete opposite. Had total respect for his message and ethos but couldn’t stand the way he pushed that message out. I briefly met him at a punk house Fugszi we’re staying at years ago and he was unbearable.
But loved his music
Likewise, know a few people who've had the displeasure of 'interacting' with him. Love Minor Threat and Fugazi but loathe the religious zealot approach, which is pretty much his modus operandi. Oh the punk irony.I was the complete opposite. Had total respect for his message and ethos but couldn’t stand the way he pushed that message out. I briefly met him at a punk house Fugszi we’re staying at years ago and he was unbearable.
