Naúx redux

Feb 25, 2008

I'll interrupt my Mars Volta jag to announce that I have found Naúx! On my first post about him, I wondered whatever happened to him after his excellent 1983 album Light, Traps and Exploding Wires. Thanks to Frank Eaton I've learned that he is now John "Crawlin' Snake" Mac, "The Next Dead Blues Guy." And he's still got the same skewed funky style that made Light, Traps... so great. Here's the video for "God Is Dead" from his newest album, Satan In Heaven:

Extra percussion makes everything better! Here he is performing another original, "When I'm Wrong," at one of his weekly gigs in Providence, in drag (F-word alert!):

John "Crawlin' Snake" Mac has two MySpace pages, here and here (this one has all his drag photos), with a total of seven songs to listen to. w00t w00t! (as I believe you're supposed to type on the web to indicate excitement)
