NEW YORK'S Thomas Truax is a troubadour - but not like any you've ever seen before. Truax (pronounced troo-aks) is the inventor of strange self-made instruments like his now legendary Hornicator, a gramophone horn with strings.
When playing a more traditional instrument like the guitar, he's often backed by a motorised Flintstones-era drum machine he built called Sister Spinster.
It all comes together in exceptionally crafted, witty and often touching songs.
His second album Audio Addiction is now out on Psycho Teddy records and his own radio serial, The Wowtown News, plays on Resonance FM in London.
But you can catch him in the flesh at Lancaster's Farmers Arms.
Thomas Truax plays Feedback at the Farmers Arms in Lancaster on Friday, October 14.
