Colonel Dax

"From Genesis and Pink Floyd to Muse, with hints of King Crimson and Allan Holdsworth in between: an intoxicating blend of post-Rock, progressive Rock and electronic experimentation." - Bangor Music "They are astonishing." - BBC Introducing Colonel Dax is a Wrexham-based alternative rock/multimedia project built around the songwriting, production and filmmaking of Tom Hughes. Funky, Proggy, ever-so-slightly Emo, and somewhere in the vicinity of Rock, Colonel Dax songs are about confusion, animals, dreams and strange places; some are puzzles, some are absolutely stupid, and at least one of them is 27 minutes long. 2024 saw the debut of a brand new live line-up, featuring Hendrix-esque guitar, Bonham-esque drums, and the occasional pair of trumpets. Since 2016, Tom has released 2 albums and a handful of singles, achieving viral success along the way with the music video for "The Changing Man", and "thisisnotadream": an 8-part tribute to his dad. A 3rd album is in post-production, and the 4th and 5th are currently in progress. On paper, hard drives and in his head, Tom has a catalogue of songs, albums, EPs and videos so enormous that it will take a lifetime to bring them to fruition. FFO: Genesis, Pink Floyd, Prefab Sprout, Talking Heads, Kate Bush, Tears For Fears, The Cure, Death Cab For Cutie, Arcade Fire, Wild Nothing
