The Waiting Room

This Sunday October 21st in The Waiting Room Cabaret Bar

The Amazing Thomas Truax

+ JJ Crash

+ more

This week (Oct 21st) New Yorker Thomas Truax wields his incredible Dr Seussian junkyard contraptions into the spot light. Thomas crafts songs that are as brilliant and inventive as his mechanical band members - a mix of anthropomorphic instruments, that he has created from junkyard bits and pieces. "A mixture of gothic fantasy, vaudeville and mad-genius invention. He's the most unique and interesting one man band that I have ever seen and endlessly fascinating to watch."

With support from JJ Crash. JJ Crash plays protest lullabies "somewhere between the punk poetry of Patrick Fitzgerald and the wordy folk buffoonery of Jake Thackary"
