Thaddeus Spae

News

6/20/15: WELL FINALLY. A new album! Three years in the making! Packed with smouldering resentment and vitriol! It's You And What Army?, the song collection that dares to plumb the hidden connection between alchemy and Middle Eastern strife, that dissects the real meaning of flirtations, that peels back the seemingly-benign surface of life to reveal its loathsome hidden depths. Also, many jokes. Available for streaming and downloading at bandcamp.com, and actual CDs may be purchased through Bard's Cathedral.

Update! My song "Good Times Is Bad Times (For The Blues)" has been selected as a finalist in the Tumbleweed Folk Festival Songwriters Contest this year! Woohoo, I'm in the Show!

Update to the update: didn't win. Awwwwww.....
