THUS SPOKE THE SPECTACLE

Eric Goodman

Thus Spoke the Spectacle deconstructs and reconfigures the massive onslaught of news, advertising, politics and entertainment into an edgy and highly entertaining transmedia rock experience.

Original live music, spoken word vocals, video and lights combine to tell the story of the mass media’s infiltration of every aspect of society.
