“Spencer’s a suave sonofabitch as well. He comes on greasy and strong. His music’s undeniable sweat, swagger and reverence are menacing. And though something of an iconoclastic cult figure, Spencer has no underlying motive beyond diggin’ the kicks the music brings. It happens every time.
“I know once we get started playing, I’m just going to feel swept away,” Spencer says from his home in New York. “It’s just the music. I don’t know how to explain it any differently. It really just makes me feel so good.”” – Frank De Blasé / RochesterCityNewspaper.com

“after The Sadies set the roof of the @bugjarrochester on fire, during an after-fest show, Spencer and Verta-Ray help them finish the job by tearing it off during the second set. After putting the crowd in his hand and taking them to the floor, before flinging them electrified through the open roof, Spencer is seen taking a breather on a sidewalk patio chair and commences to politely engage with a thrill seeking fan for just a quick moment. Ever the gentleman and a date to remember.”
