About Me

I'm Spense... I've been in some bands, booked some shows... Currently working as the Label Assistant for Lookout Records, A rock floor guy at the Berkeley Amoeba, and the producer and host of the Noise Pop New Music Podcast ... I live and breathe music... It's all I've ever known... I was born in San Francisco and raised in Oakland on Beatles, Motown, They Might Be Giants, Elvis Costello, The Talking Heads, and Rafi. When I was about 10, i got really into the whole east bay ska-punk thing... After high school I left Oakland and went up North to Olympia, Washington where I went to The Evergreen State College (an interesting mix of hippies and hipsters). Evergreen and Olympia taught me to always be progressing within yourself and within your music. Now I'm back in Oakland for the foreseeable future I just can't think of any better place to live. A constant need for conscious lyrics and a fast tempo have driven a majority of my music through the years, though I usually just write and play what comes out at extreme points throughout my life...
