About Me

BOOKING INQUIRIES: [email protected] .. SPONDEE was formed in 2005 by Clint Vickery and Tyler Shafer as a side project while playing in the Pocatello-based concept band Frozen Sunshine. After a year of playing shows and gaining a following they took a break and Spondee reformed again in 2007 with a new focus on incorporating Pop into their music. Since that focus change, their music has gained a reputation for its catchy hooks and dancing rhythms. Spondee has been playing all over the Northwest and released the EP, "Creeky Step" in March 2008 and recently released their first album "Pop Your Socks Off" independently in March 2009.
