>> Snax
bio: Born in the suburbs of Maryland, SNAX grew up listening to Washington DC Go-Go music and toiling over a 4-track tape machine in his parents’ basement. Subsequent moves around the country resulted in various bands and collaborations. While living in New York, SNAX began collaborating with electronic producer and performer Khan. The eventual result of this was their group, CAPTAIN COMATOSE. A European tour in 2001, as keyboardist in Jim Thirlwell’s band, FOETUS, cemented SNAX’s decision to relocate once again; this time to Berlin. CAPTAIN COMATOSE toured relentlessly in the following years and released several 12inches, remixes and two full length LP’s on the Playhouse label. SNAX released his solo full length, “From The Rocking Chair To The Stage” on Mental Groove Records in 2004. Glowing reviews followed; IDJ calling SNAX “an intuitive songwriter with a scalpel sharp sense of humour” while Vice raved “an awesome sing-a-long spectacular…A+ production and next level crooning.” A seven-month, one-man-show tour of Europe followed that winter. Along the way, SNAX collaborated with such artists as Jamie Lidell, Kaos, Shapemod, Ianeq, Mocky, Peaches and Soffy O. Using his body, rhythm and soul, SNAX is a natural born performer, challenging his audience to interact with him completely. This fall, SNAX will be releasing a new album entitled “Love Pollution.” He is also in the process of forming a live band to tour the new LP. According to SNAX, his future appearances will be “A relationship between attitude, energy and sensation.” The following discography is not complete and reflects SNAX’s more current work.
