Thomas Truax (with Arms Against)

Thomas Truax, the inventive American songwriter, crafts music that takes you on a whimsical and unpredictable sonic journey. His live performances are immersive and eccentric, captivating audiences with a delightful blend of homemade instruments, live guitar looping, and enchanting storytelling.
His unique self-made ‘band mates’ include a motorized drum machine made of bike wheels, spoons and other found items called 'Mother Superior' and a souped up Gramophone called 'The Hornicator’
His music evades easy pigeonholing as his songs flit between art rock, post-punk, touches of 50s rockabilly and a distinctive brand of surreal Americana.

"This is one eccentric who does not disappoint." (The Skinny)

"Endlessly inventive and creative…A show not to be missed!” (Oxford Times)

"The spectacle of Truax’s live set is unlike anything that you’ll see elsewhere, but if it was all about the mechanical stagecraft it wouldn’t keep bringing us back. Thankfully the songs sparkle with the same sense of invention, imbued with humour and heart” (Joyzine)

Support from Arms Against - the Scottish alternative rock band, with influences including americana, folk, grunge, and much more.
