Band MembersDavid Kitchen (guitar, vocals); Matthew Shallcross (drum piff).
InfluencesThe following are artists we feel have influenced us. This doesn't necessarily mean direct musical influence, as every piece of music ever written has thousands of influences known and unknown to the artist whoever they may be. We're no different. So, perhaps its best to say that the following is a list of groups/performers whom we admire and aspire to with regards to their music, their spirit, and their belief in themselves................................ The Beatles, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Velvet Underground, Half Man Half Biscuit, Flaming Lips, Joy Division, Beta Band, Serge Gainsbourg, Cibo Matto, Daft Punk, Fela Kuti, The Doors, George Clinton, Mr Scruff, The Bees, Sonic Youth, Pavement, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis (Miles In the Sky!) Beach Boys, The Fall, Stereolab, Syd Barret, Buddy Holly, Incredible String Band, Patti Smith, The Ethiopians, John Coltrane, Theolonius Monk, Frank Zappa, DJ Shadow, Super Furry Animals, Talking Heads, Broken Social Scene, Air, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Cure, Glen Branca, Cinematic Orchestra, Kid Koala, The Kinks, Avalanches, my god the Avalanches! Scalpel, My Bloody Valentine, Congotronics, Can, Beck...
Sounds Like As far as reviews are concerned.....whether they're good or bad, as soon as you start paying attention to them thats it, you're finished.

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
