Thomas Truax plus Blue-John Benjamin
Our resident Prince of Steam Punk - The Amazing Thomas Truax is back this Sunday, as he warms down from a huge Twin Peaks anniversary beano - playing his workings of music from the films of David Lynch, and on tour to promote his other latest hit album Sonic Dreamer:
'The Heath Robinson of music" twists and solders scrap metal and the mind-waste that most of us ignore, to meld sublimely inventive original songs. He's a real showman to boot.
"Genius" NME
"Like a trip to the frayed edges of sanity. . .unapologetically original." -Dazed and Confused
"When he performs, it is a spectacle - the originality and seeming impossibility of what he does is much of the appeal." -The Guardian
"Thomas Truax is that rare beast - a total one-off." -Martin Lilleker, Sheffield Telegraph
