Influences
Television Personalities, Lesbo Pig, Jonathan Richman, Daniel Johnston, Woody Guthrie, anyone i listen to, my friends, books, nightmares, Violent femmes, bad tv, falling over sometimes, more...
"winston echo is the crabby writer of love songs, the dreamer in pessimist clothing; he's on the outside of the box where we all are, and leads us hand-clapped into singalong-a-bittersweet triumph! ours is the quiet victory of joy mapped out by modern lovers and friendly ghosts - deep charted waters to an outlook previously known to us: an open observance and naive attendance; a song you sing to keep yourself company - and that's as punk as punk can get! and winston echo could be the best thing we ever had"
I started writing songs and recorded my first CD over christmas 2003 and played my first gig in the new year. It was a disaster. All sorts of stuff went wrong. Oh dear, i thought. Oh dear indeed.
I listen to too many cds and records and don't spend enough time writing songs. I like being a bit silly but This Is Not A Comedy. Yes, some of my songs are funny, but it isn't a joke. It's just the only way I know. Maybe I'm an emotional cripple, who knows?
!!! GIMME MONEY !!!
I got some t-shirts and they are amazing, they come in S, M, L and XL and they have this design on them
they are printed yellow on sky blue and cost £10, if you would like one, send me a message.
here's what they look like when worn (ignore the one on the left, that was a special one off i made for lauren because she asked me AGES ago) later this night Rob would throw a pint of lager beer in my lap
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
"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

Hello Chris, thanks for the invite to the thingy on Sunday, I would love to come but won't be in town. It would be nice to see you as you made me laugh a lot when we were in the Fishmarket, I did see you walking up through town a while ago but didn't honk and wave as I thought I might crash my spacious C3, I am not very good at steering and any extra curricular car activities could prove FATAL. Hope you are well though. Take care Sam x.
hey winston! thank you so much for our lovely picture and story. you really should put some dvds underneath your laptop, to stop it from over-heating. ellis' laptop broke cos it got too hot! it's proudly pinned to our pinboard. love, the bumblebees x
