..

Just started collecting the Studio Gibli Collection. Theyre all so nice! I think My Neighbour Totoro is my favourite so far.

TelevisionBest stuff I've seen on TV are, Six Feet Under, 24, Father Ted, Family Guy, The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marengi's Dark Place, Firefly, Star Trek, Futurama, Lost, Murder One and Band of Brothers.
BooksI think my favourite book has to be The Little Prince.

Don't read much, but here's a few more I've read; Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials, most of the Discworld series, Bad Twin.... no I'm out. Reading Catcher In The Rye at the mo. In to comics though (as I work in a comic shop). Daredevil, Spiderman, classic superhero stuff but I do like the odd random indie that comes out now and again; Powers, like anything drawn by Ashley Wood or Ben Templesmith.

HeroesI don't really think of people as heros. But I supose Steven Spielberg and Robert Rodriguez are people i admire in a way.

About me:

Finished college, got a 2.1 BA Digital Video. I work for Boomerang TV. Good stuff. Working on the Freesports programme for Channel 4, Bandit the Welsh language music show and Unsigned, a music program for local unsigned bands on ITV 1 Wales. Want to eventually get into film making though. Am well into music and love going to gigs all the time in Cardiff and playing in as many bands as I can manage, which at the moment is three.. ish. Am vegetarian. Dwi'n siarad Cymraeg yn warthus achos es i i Glantaf!

As I said, am well into music and am in many bands playing different things. My old project was In The Bleak Midwinter. All the songs were written when I was in a certain frame of mind. That time in my life is now over and Ive moved on and therefore my music has changed, but please go have a look and leave loads of feedback good or bad. Cheers.

I set up a weekly jam night over my house when I was living on Wyverne Road. It slowly developed into a live show. Wyevrne Road. This is also now over as I moved out and in with my girlfriend, Laura.

Ive been writing songs under a new name of late, with Laura, called Bears In The Air. Nothing much as happened with that yet as Im waiting on recording equipment. Started up a new band with the people I find it easyest to write with. Its in its early days, but sounding promising. Thats called The Curtis Horse. Im putting all my effort at the moment, into the various other bands I play in such as Pagan Wanderer Lu & The Volunteers and Silence At Sea.

I've now also got a Film MySpace. I've been working in TV now for nearly a year and have details on this page. On there are also stills from my college films.

Ive been working lately on various music videos for bands like Pagan Wanderer Lu and Spencer McGarry Season. I'll get these up on my film profile soon. I'm well up for doing more music videos so if anyones interested, let me know.

Am absolutely loving this website at the mo. Only been wearing clothes I buy from it. This isnt spam. Its amazing. Honestly go have a look. Its a website where anyone submits designs for tshirts, they get voted on and the best ones get printed for sale. Obviously theres loads of rubbish, but theres some amazing ones too!

Who I'd like to meet:
Your mum.

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.

"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny

Lynch Album Cover Medium jpg

"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman


"Great stuff." -Buzz Magazine

THIS FRIDAY!

ALREADY GOT TICKETS FOR FUTURE OF THE LEFT? - you can get in for just £3.50 and then floor-hop, we'll stagger the bands and Zombina go on really late so you won't miss much don't worry.
Then you're in for Dudes Abide which would cost you that much anyway, but this way the money goes to the bands instead!
