Overview

Born and raised in Penticton, British Columbia, Krug moved to Victoria, British Columbia where he became a founding member of the indie rock band Frog Eyes. Later, he moved to Montreal, Quebec where he formed Wolf Parade alongside fellow songwriter and singer Dan Boeckner in April of 2003.
Wolf Parade's first show was opening for the Arcade Fire on the ’03 ''Us Kids Know'' tour. ''Apologies to the Queen Mary'', Wolf Parade's debut album, was produced by Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock and released on Seattle indie label Sub Pop on September 27, 2005.
Also in 2005, Krug teamed up with Beckie Foon (A Silver Mt. Zion, Set Fire to Flames, Esmerine) and Rachel Levine (Cakelk), forming the instrumental string/piano/accordion-based trio Fifths of Seven. Later that year , the band released ''Spry from Bitter Anise Folds''.
As a side project to Wolf Parade, Krug released the self-recorded album ''Snake's Got a Leg'' under the moniker Sunset Rubdown in the summer of 2005. Originally a solo project, Sunset Rubdown expanded in the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006 to include Camilla Wynn Ingr of Pony Up!, Jordan Robson-Cramer of XY Lover, and Michael Doerksen. This new line-up released its first collaborative efforts: a 5 track self-titled EP, ''Sunset Rubdown'', in January 2006, followed by the band's second LP, ''Shut Up I Am Dreaming'', in May 2006. Sunset Rubdown’s third LP, ''Random Spirit Lover'', is scheduled to be released October 9, 2007.
Another side project of Spencer Krug's was Handsome Furs, an electronic based indie rock band.
Krug rejoined Frog Eyes as their keyboardist in the spring of 2006. Wolf Parade and Frog Eyes toured that year together, allowing Krug to participate in both bands simultaneously. Krug also recorded material for the indie rock supergroup Swan Lake alongside Frog Eyes' Carey Mercer and Destroyer's Dan Bejar. The group released their debut album, ''Beast Moans'', on November 21, 2006 through Jagjaguwar Records.
Currently, Krug is touring with Wolf Parade, which is expecting to release its second LP by the end of 2007.
