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.

Cuff was chucked out of Spy V Spy for being a dick! Bad blood between =
him and Craig/Mike still exists, so much so that on the odd occasions =
they do actually play live now, they refuse to do anything off Fossil. I =
have seen his name pop up around the place doing solo gigs from time to =
time, but I couldn't even be sure it was the same guy. As for him as the =
singer for MO, hmmm, not sure about that to be honest. Or the other =
guys. I think for me Garrett is it and that's that!

Anyone considered Rob stepping out from behind the drums and taking =
the on the role?! Then having a new drummer come in! Some one like, oh I =
don't know, ME!!!!!

OK yes I agree that Mick would work well. Here are a few others that =
I think would work even better:

Mark Cuffe (Spies and also The Shock Poets - very good lyrics!) =
Anyone know what happened to him?
Dave Gleeson from The Screaming Jets

Hey, Aussies, how about this for an off the wall choice to replace =
PG if he ever left Oil? Michael Thomas (Mick Thomas to most) of =
Weddings Parties Anything. Don't just scoff; think about his broadly =
Australian accent, his love of Oil, his left-leaning politics, and his =
GREAT songwriting ability. I could definitely hear him pulling off the =
more "strummy" material from "Diesel" and "Capricornia." I would love =
to hear Mick play with the Oils in some fashion. Maybe they could bring =
him and his band The Sure Thing along to open a US tour someday. WPA =
never played the US, to my knowledge; one of my great musical =
disappointments is that I never got to see the great WPA. If you're not =
familiar with them, order their double live CD, "They Were Better Live" =
from whammo; it's the ideal introduction. I reckon they're the best =
unknown band ever.
