Spex
and Gary Spex and Gary are
both experienced musicians from different backgrounds and are
best friends living in Levin. They were introduced 3 years ago
by a local drummer at one of Spex’s rock covers band gigs.
They hit it off instantly and have been regularly jamming up and
down the country with a variety of different rock bands. The idea
to go “unplugged” came whilst discussing working together
under a more permanent arrangement over beers at Spex’s
house. Both agreed that to start yet another covers band when
they were already both in separate covers bands was not the way
and that’s when the plan to get out the acoustic guitars
was hatched. From the moment they started it was obvious that
they had something special and from that point on things moved
quickly with gig offers appearing as word travelled. Since they
have been together they have recorded 3 DVD’s and played
numerous times from Wellington to Te Awamutu with repeat bookings
at every venue they have visited so far.

The Movie-What You See Is What
You Get
The movie was recorded live and
then played along with as the filming took place. No overdubs,
tracking or sequencers were used. Each song was played twice and
the best version of the two was used for the film. The decision
to play live was deliberate and not an attempt to save on studio
costs. “We wanted to show people what they will get if they
hire us and as recordings go it’s as honest as it gets”.
