I have met the Spys a few times too, and like you, always found Cuffe to =
be a pretty nice bloke. I know I dont have anything against him other =
than the way he treated his drum kit, and his questionable ability to =
play it! And I think they are the reasons he got the boot. I heard that =
there was a fight and Blox belted him as well!! I think someone asked =
him about it once when we were backstage after a show and while he =
didn't say he did, he certainly didnt deny it!! Was very coy about it!=20

Blox told me that they (He and Mike) bought that kit he had (the really =
huge kit that he was playing when he first joined the band) for him, and =
he smashed it up so badly it wasnt worth anything when they tried to =
sell it again. It cost them $8000 to buy and they got less than an grand =
for it about 2 years later. I was a big fan of his when he first joined =
the band, but he started to loose me pretty quickly and in the end was =
glad to see him go.

By the way, can anyone tell me how to subscibe to the Spy's new mailing =
list? I was on the old listbot one and never changed over when the new =
one started. Thanks.

Andrew.

          The goss is that Bloxom headbutted him.

       I've met the spys a few times and Cuffe always seemed like a nice =
bloke although he was a bit heavy and forceful on the christianity.

          Actually now that i think of it,i saw Mark Cuffe at one of the =
Oils gigs at the metro last year.
