The Great Spy Experiment

The plan was simple. Get two guitars, a bass, a keyboard and a drumset. And rock. Five different people. One common goal: To change the face of Singapore music. The Great Spy Experiment create music that is the best of indie, rock and dance put together, informed by anything and everything except Miley. As much guitar-led as it is beat- driven, with indie riffs juxtaposing irresistible pop hooks and melodies that tug the heartstrings, the music is created with the dancefloor in mind and the bedroom at heart. Undoubtedly one of the leading lights of the Singaporean independent music scene, the band has featured in internationally renowned events such as the Baybeats, Mosaic, ZoukOut, One Movement, MIDEM, Future Music and South-by-Southwest festivals and brought their music to audiences as far and wide as New York and Taipei. Their first album Flower Show Riots, released in September 2007, garnered rave reviews and widespread acclaim both in Singapore and abroad. May 2012 sees the release of their sophomore album, Litmus, yet another milestone in their quest to change the face of Singaporean independent music. Singaporean indie rock has never sounded this superb. – Today A premium dance rock killer that will slay both dance anoraks and indie scenesters. A keeper. – The Straits Times Flower Show Riots is a confident and assured debut and music fans everywhere should sample its varied delights. – Pop Culture Press Flower Show Riots sounds really good and stands up easily to any modern rock LP you may care to point out on the Billboard Album Charts. Not a claim one can honestly make with reference to a Singapore band but I believe that there’s no exaggeration to declare Flower Show Riots a minor tour de force. – www.powerofpop.com www.thegreatspyexperimenthq.com
