No secrets between friends, ignorance is bliss. Brooks Strause is a singer, songwriter and musician from Iowa. Since first crawling out of incapacitating melancholy to begin playing music in the late nineteen-nineties when he was in high school, Brooks has written hundreds of songs, played numerous shows in and around Iowa, and toured the United States of America thrice. When not on the road, Brooks thinks a lot. Like many people, he has difficulty being optimistic, especially in the winter-time. He is certain he will die young, but not before he loses his mind and destroys everything he cares about. He has bad breath and rarely bathes. He is paranoid and anti-social. Sometimes he goes for days without leaving the house. He has just finished a new album, The Misanthrope and his Doubtful Faith and will consequently be touring the United States again. Brooks is currently a member of the aggressive folk and ragtime outfit, the Old Scratch Revival Singers and was a member of the Iowa rock and roll band, the Heart Attacks. He plays a variety of musical instruments somewhat poorly and continues to live in Iowa.
