Straight outta Wowtown, one-man steampunk band Thomas Truax is famed for his array of bizarre homemade instruments (including the now-legendary 'Hornicator'), captivating live performances, and ground-breaking recordings.
He crafts some very potent songs, poetically evocative and rich with melancholy. His current tour mixes originals from his new album Sonic Dreamer ('Something very, very special' Drowned In Sound) with selections from last year's acclaimed Songs From The Films Of David Lynch.

Truax has played Glastonbury and Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Queen Elizabeth Hall in London and appeared on MTV. He has been labeled 'Steampunk' and 'Antifolk' but denies all charges.
