This is an archive of the band profile for The Spivs.

Three borderline human beings. We're called the Spivs because we are purveyors of dodgy goods like a 1940's wideboy with a banana up his sleeve. Although it's very passe these days to call your band anything starting with 'The' we don't need to court attention with a name, if we did we would have gone for...

'Bhangra Beats Down The National Front Disco'. So we defiantly hold on to the definite article while making our racket. Jim Spiv with his spiky guitar, Mick Spiv with his jungle drums and Nic Spiv with her mandrill calls. We uphold the original punk ethos that anyone can have a go at making music. What we lack in musicianship we make up for with enthusiasm, and love of being in a gang when we should know better because we're the wrong side of 25. We're garagey, poppy, punky, loungey, unpolished, unproffessional and absoluteley unparalleled. Ladies and gentleman, we are The Spivs!.
