biographical info
The Beautiful Spies are a Canadian synthpop band consisting of Dina Naskos and Dave Rout from Toronto, Ontario.
Dave and Dina met 12 years ago through a mutual friend and performed together in the dark electronic band Colecovision.
After collaborating as Colecovision for a couple of years, they parted ways to concentrate on solo creative endeavors. Dave continued his solo musical career as Datafreq along with collaborating on other musical projects.
Dina also collaborated on other musical projects along with working within the musical theatre and TV acting genre.
Dave and Dina re-united and evolved into The Beautiful Spies. In September 2011, they had an opportunity to perform in Berlin, Germany which was very well received.
Analog synths, drum machines, catchy melodies and shimmering vocals are what
The Beautiful Spies are all about.
They are currently working on their demo CD to be released in 2012.
