Apologies for the lack of updates recently- we’ve all been busy as hell, working on new recordings (about which more very soon…) 


In the meantime, we’ll be playing our regular slot at Goodbye, Faithful Kingdom! this Tuesday for Thomas Truax’s David-Lynch-inspired album launch.


“Goodbye, Faithful Kingdom! is refreshingly different” - Subba-Cultcha

Tickets available here…


THOMAS TRUAX 

Thomas Truax is a New Yorker currently residing in London. He’s a singer-songwriter and inventor of strange self-made instruments like his now legendary ‘Hornicator’ and motorized mechanical drum machines including new ‘Mother Superior’. He employs these as well as traditional instruments in exceptionally crafted, witty and often touching songs. His activities have been documented in two feature-length films: ‘Instrumental’, from director Gabe Shalom (US, 2005) and Adam Clitheroe’s ‘One Man In The Band’ (UK, 2008). With three acclaimed full length albums under his belt: ‘Full Moon Over Wowtown’(2004), ‘Audio Addiction’(2005), and ‘Why Dogs Howl at the Moon’ (2007) Thomas took a break from near-constant touring and work on a nearly completed fourth original album to concentrate instead on an album of cover songs from the films of David Lynch. 

Goodbye, Faithful Kingdom! are informed that Thomas Truax will be doing a Lynch-themed show at The Macbeth, which might feature a backwards-speaking dancing dwarf!

“A cranium pouring with genuine innovation. Imaginative, out-there, rich in content.” - Plan B
“Inventive and Romantic” -TimeOut
“Beguilingly Bizarre” –Uncut

 

THE MONROE TRANSFER

“The Monroe Transfer demand to be absorbed by candlelight, with a phial of absinthe on the side.” – Metro (One To Watch) 

 

GNOMES OF ZURICH 

Two piece dirty blues and punked up rock put through a mincer and turned into a riotous mess of danceable beats, incomprehensable noise and beautiful, soaring melodies. Featuring Ben Walker (of Sidearm and Good Luck Fox fame) and Andy Clydesdale of the Audio Massage empire.
