Double Naught Spy Car

(Formerly known as "Pink Floyd The Barber")

The band sprang from Bonedaddys chief Mike Tempo's Venice garage, an all instrumental combo (no pesky vocals) dedicated to providing the soundtrack for the approaching postverbal meltdown. "COMB IN BLUE WATER," OOSpyCar's debut CD, made Buzz Magazine's BEST 10 Local CDs of 1997 list, garnered raves from Guitar Player, L.A. Weekly, BAM and Flipside Magazine. Songs from the CD are featured in John McNaughton's ("Wild Things", "Henry, Portrait Of A Serial Killer") new film "Condo Painting" as well as in the other upcoming films "Blast From The Past," "Hacks," American Intellectuals," and "Get A Job". The band's music has also been used in several episodes of MTV's "Real World" and "Road Rules", and on Comedy Central as bumper material. Additionally, the group has just completed its first feature film score for Jeff Janger's "Fool's Gold", to be released in 1999 and accepted to Sundance. Recent DOUBLE NAUGHT SPY CAR occurrences include a Pentecost Sunday musical sermon at an Episcopal church,tours to New Orleans and the midwest, and a library and theater tour of L.A. backing noir crime novelist James Ellroy's musings on murder and mutilation before appropriately shocked and offended literary audiences. Fronted by a pink festooned shrine to Floyd of Mayberry, these wily veterans of The Bonedaddys, Rotondi, the Underthings, Moris Tepper's band, Native Shrubs of the Santa Monica Mountains and The Negro Problem, speak with twin guitars and lap steel (Marcus Watkins and Paul Lacques), bass (Marc Doten), and drums (Tempo). OOSpyCar are seen spouting wisdom and playing music in Garage Band, an interactive CD-ROM Released by L3 Interactive, January 1997. Released Summer 1996: PINK FLOYD THE BARBER'S instrumental contribution to "Eyesore," a critically acclaimed Residents tribute on Vaccination Records.
