HIGH SPY

High Spy biography
HIGH SPY is a band based in the Midlands region in England, and is the latest in a long line of bands and projects involving keyboardist Mark Price (formerly of EXECUTIONER, FINAL CONFLICT, FRAMEWORK, GRACE, PROXY MUSIC, ECHOBASE, COLONIAL MOVERS). In this particular case he is the founder of the band, which he decided to form in February 2006.

Ade Peddie (vocals, guitar, harmonica) joins in March 2006, which becomes the official formation month of the outfit, and in June 2006 Lee Weston (bass, vocals) is added to the line-up. With the addition of Arran Powell (drums, percussion) in December 2006 the line-up is complete.

In January 2007 they decide to go for HIGH SPY as their official band name, and February 2007 marks the launch of this outfit as a live act. Following that concert the rest of the year is used to write and record new material and playing live on a few select occasions. In July they release the compilation CD "Rebirth: The Big Machine", a production consisting mainly of older work by Mark Price - reworked and rearranged during 2006. A live CD, one of many to come, is also issued in 2007, and the band's MySpace page and homepage are launched.

In 2008 HIGH SPY has played live on several occasions, have released a handful of live CDs, and more new material has been written and recorded. The planned studio release gets postponed for various reasons; and when Mark Stokes (guitars) join the band in August 2008 additional guitar parts needs to be recorded, prolonging the finalization of the album.

WHY THIS BAND IS INCLUDED IN THE ARCHIVES:

HIGH SPY is a UK-based outfit specializing in keyboard-driven progressive rock with careful and often atmospheric guitarwork; in a manner that should appeal to fans of classic Neo Progressive bands in general and early MARILLION in particular. The band was suggested to and quickly approved for addition by the Neo Progressive team.
