Thomas Truax + The Kitchen Cynics
Thursday 28th Sept 06 @ Musa, 33 Exchange Street, Aberdeen. Phone (01224)571771 Doors 8.30 Entry £6

Tickets in advance from Musa

Thomas Truax
For those of you that don't know, Thomas builds his own kooky instruments and travels all over the place playing original songs on them, and on his resonator guitar, backed by his special mechanical drummer Sister Spinster. He has two full albums, 'Audio Addiction' and 'Full Moon Over Wowtown' and some singles and compilation tracks out there on various labels.

Press stuff:

"Thomas Truax (is) a feisty sonic dreamer gadgeteer, songwriter and performer...capable of crafting some very potent songs... poetically evocative and rich with melancholy, both by dint of sounds and the texts." -David Greenberger, Signal To Noise

"...not of this earth...I still can't think of a single show I've seen that was as beguiling or as charming or as plain bananas as this one." -AlexKirk, Gigwise.com

"Beguilingly Bizarre" -Uncut

There's a lot more press, reviews, information, music and interviews at his 'official' website:
"beware the mighty skint man"

The Kitchen Cynics
Longstanding Folk/Psych practitioners from Aberdeen, Scotland.
Alan Davidson (aka The Kitchen Cynics) has produced many tapes, records & CDs, and supported the Incredible String Band, Terry Reid, Josephine Foster, PG Six, Major Matt Mason USA, Marissa Nadler, Black Forest/Black Sea, Thomas Truax, Amy Rigby and Schwervon. He has also played as part of Damo Suzuki's Network and is part of the loss Mickel Mass Collective.

"Music that sounds like its emanating from a very old phonograph, fitting for this sort of moody folk pop impressionism"

"One of God's songwriters, he has been firing off intriguing compositions like sparks from the Catherine Wheel of his mind for as long as I can remember, and probably longer than he can." (Ptolemaic Terrascope UK)

"Alan wouldn't easily accept it but he's making quietly important music and recognition will come. He's trying in the songs of small moments to explore genuine emotions, to connect rather than just entertain." (Woven Wheat Whispers UK)

"Much to my delight, Davidson has continued producing quixotic music through the years and shows no signs of letting up. There will always be something legendary about the Kitchen Cynics for me. It's amazing how fresh & enthusiastic Davidson is about this after 20 years." (Foxy Digitalis US)

"The Kitchen Cynics isnt so much a band to enjoy, as a member of the family you havent visited for a while. The charming, eccentric cousin you are amused, beguiled and often moved by. Dont wait to visit so long next time." (Unbroken Circle UK)

"They could be joining the likes of the Fence Collective, Lucky Luke and Scatter as rulers of Scotland's skewed folk realm." (Beard UK)

I haven't seen Alan or Thomas or anyone for ages, so I'll hopefully make it along clutching some lp's.

Space is definitely limited at this venue, so I would advise folk to get down sharpish.
