offramp 32 Report post Posted November 18, 2008 interesting music promotions presentTHOMAS TRUAX + 7 HERTZ + GREEN PONYThursday 11th December The Tunnels, Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen, AB10 1BF. Phone (01224) 211121Doors 8pm | Entry 6 on doorhttp://www.myspace.com/interestingmusichttp://www.thetunnels.co.ukTHOMAS TRUAXThe return of our favorite Steampunk with his accompanying home made friends and travelling companions including Sister Spinster and the Hornicator"Thomas Truax (pronounced troo-aks) 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)http://www.myspace.com/thomastruax7 HERTZIn a line up which comprises double bass, violin and clarinet 7 Hertz improvise! That's what they do. They make tunes inside which to improvise, or just start from nothing. They also compose. They have a wide variety of influences, contemporary classical, folk, jazz, free improv, punk and just plain odd - but they find mutual ground through listening to each other, and making it up as they go along.http://www.myspace.com/the7hertzbandGREEN PONYTonight Matthew, John Hekert is Green Pony - our favorite Dutch troubadour.http://www.myspace.com/ridethatgreenpony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

offramp 32 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 The Kiosque previewed this gig.How nice.Limbering up on the other side of the ring at The Tunnels is New-Yorker Thomas Truax, a singer-songwriter with a difference. With an endearing fondness for experimentation, expect toys, whistles and inexplicable contraptions to feature alongside his more traditional noise-making equipment and wonderful lyrics. Insanely creative or creatively insane depending on your point of view, this gig, with double-bass-led improv group 7 Hertz and lo-fi blues misfit Green Pony in support, has a pleasingly leftfield look about it.

Humey Whilem 10 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 I wish I had spandex I would have worn it tonight.I take that back. I am quite happy not to own any spandex.This is tonight! I don't care what you think of the Pony. Thomas Truax is worth sitting through my rubbish. 7 Hertz sound amazing too.Can't wait. Haven't been this nervous for a gig in a long time.
