The Prairie Spies hail from Chicago, Illinois. We used to be a band called the Sharks...then the lawyers got to us. Our first full-length album, "Surplus Enjoyment," was released at the Empty Bottle in Chicago on Friday, May 16th, and now it's available for purchase here on this website. Our dear friends at Gaper's Block say we "play fierce and fun goodness that is simultaneously raw and overtly poppy," "like Weezer and Pavement had sex and this was their five-headed monster." So, you know, that's good.
