Afraid not, you know full well who the originals are. Your name is as original as your cramps tribute.

 

[rutabowa]

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Flying V Bass.

Heavy.

Yes that's good.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Hold on I'm sure I have heard that before.

 

[clandestino]

Blimey, a rumble!

Going by myspaces...

"Our" Spivs joined in 29/06/2007 - http://www.myspace.com/thespivsonline

What I can only assume to be Nicspiv's Spivs joined in 17/08/2006, plus they've got www.thespivs.co.uk - http://www.myspace.com/threespivs

Which doesn't look good for our plucky Cramps-loving chums...

But!

Disaster!

From New York, the only band with a claim to the name The Spivs, joined myspace on 30/12/2004 - http://www.myspace.com/thespivs

So looks like you've both looking for new names, lads...



Of the three, I think I like the sound of The Original Spivs the best, then The New New Spivs, with The New Spivs trailing a distinct third...

 

[rutabowa]

Hold on I'm sure I have heard that before.

their bassist or someone got in touch saying hey i used to be in a badn with that name and we sent back like 3 seperate emails at once saying how cool it was, i think they got freaked out and never replied

 

[clandestino]

Oh, and now there's The Original Original Spivs to consider. It's a minefield and no mistake...

 

[fogbat]

The title of this event was "All girl punk rock".

Did that include The Spivs?

 

[clandestino]

The Original NYC Spivs are an all-female duo. Sophie on vocals and guitar and Diana on triangle. Sounds pretty punk rock to me!

what about the dutch band from the 80s? they had a hit single and all.

check their influences:
"the libertines, baby shambles, interpol, the moldy peaches, kimya dawson, the star spangles, the witnesses, adam green, rooney, frente!, the arcade fire, bright eyes, weezer"
a mixed bag, imo

And this one:
Fortis Green stereo mix, by The Spivs, recorded 2001, overdubs 2007

i love the way they've tried to stretch out the fact that they're obviously a moldy peaches tribute. "we love all sorts of music - moldy peaches, kimya dawson, adam green, all sorts...!"

[rutabowa]

A Spivs with a record out has to trump a Spivs with no record out.

 

[clandestino]

A Spivs with a record out has to trump a Spivs with no record out.

The New New Spivs AKA NicSpiv's Spivs put out a single in 2007.

http://cdbaby.com/cd/spivs

It's a "dark acoustic song about an ex-girlfriend", apparently.

Although it was only on CD-R. So does that count?

 

[clandestino]

A Spivs with a record out has to trump a Spivs with no record out.

The New York Spivs have eight friends on myspace. Surely that's the case closed? I don't see how the Dutch Spivs full discography of singles and albums can hope to compete.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Hey Rutabowa you can be the 'London Spivs' or the 'Spivs UK'.

 

[clandestino]

The London Spivs is a great name!

 

[tufty79]

was there a bradford spivs? or are they one of the spivs already counted?

 

[rutabowa]

i dunno you can see the London Spivs at a farm in canterbury at midday on this friday tho http://www.loungeonthefarm.co.uk/band/The+Spivs

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

[rutabowa]

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I hardly recognize anyone in the poster and I know you.

[rutabowa]
