"The best band that never made it. Ska, rock, whatever, THEY WERE AMAZING!!!" ~ Erick F. Morgan (The Skunks/Pietasters)
About a month ago I-Spy dropped a reimagined, reworked, remastered album of some of their material from decades ago on their terms. Many of their fans say this is long overdue. It's crazy what can happen over a pandemic.
On this episode we interview Washington DC's I-Spy. The members are spread out across the county but the music all starts and ends in DC. If you want to hear the members discuss DC's Go-Go scene, 80's and 90's Punk Rock, basement shows, Bad Brains, Miggie, Toots and the Maytals, The Skunks, and the old 930 club this is the episode for you! Zach Brown from the Chariots joins me to help me connect some of the missing pieces.
