   About Brooks Strause
Brooks Strause was born in Muscatine, Iowa, in the United States of America, on the twenty-third day of January, in 1981. For some reason, he was able to fly for a small period of time in his early childhood. Around this time, he frequently heard a voice explaining things to him. It was a slow, deep, droning voice, seeming to come from both within and without. He wrote about these strange occurences in his song, Can't Remember. At age 14, he began to write and record songs using a guitar and his voice. This is a practice he has continued to this day. He plays a variety of musical instruments (none well) and tends to do his own arrangements. Brooks is an avid creature enthusiast. He enjoys the company of non-human animals, living or otherwise. Domestic cats are a favorite, and have inspired several songs. His first record, The Misanthrope and his Doubtful Faith, came out in 2006. His next record, Dead Animals, is out now, available at his shows and at Mohair Pear in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He recently finished his third solo record, which should be out in early 2010. He also plans to do some travelling in the near future, playing his songs in the world.

Would you like to receive a Kingdom?


REVELATION 3:21-22
To him who OVERCOMES I will grant To SIT with Me on My THRONE as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.


REVELATION 2:26-29
And he who OVERCOMES, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give POWER OVER THE NATIONS- He shall rule them with a rod of iron; they shall be dashed to pieces like the potters vessels- as I also have received from My Father.


Daniel 7:27
Then the KINGDOM and dominion, And the greatness of the KINGDOMS under the WHOLE heaven, Shall be given to the people, the SAINTS of the Most High

ZEPHANIAH 3:20
At that time... I will give you FAME and praise among all the peoples of the earth... says the LORD.
