  • In this video we talk bass with Spy vs Spy frontman and bassist, Craig Bloxom. We talk basses, amps, strings and more. Bloxy talks about his own Bloxy basses (that he makes!). There's a big plug for the guys at Turramurra music who came to the rescue of the Spys back in 1983.
    To hear more of Bloxy's great stories, check out the Crankin Surf podcast

    Fantastic interviews Dave, congratulations. The true essence of Craig is his fun and humility, that has been captured so well in these interviews. Brilliant. Great when you get to know your hero and find out they’re such a top bloke.

    Turramurra Music store still has the same awesome owner. Back in the day in the late 70's early 80's it had a record bar on one side of the shop. If your lucky you will see artists like Jim Moginie or Paul Wheeler there. It's an absolute mecca for music supplies. Nice they helped Blox and the band out when their gear was stolen. ReggaeSpys sounds awesome. But it's always going to be good with Blox in the band. I always thought Craig was inspired by The Clash. It's now proven.
