Slim Twig - Style and Sound


We're all psyched that Slim Twig is coming to town for this year's OBEY Convention. You may recognize him as 'Billy Zero' from Bruce McDonald's fantastic 2007 film Tracy Fragments starring Ellen Page. He killed it in that movie, but his musical output may even more impressive. What's so great about the guy? Why do we think he fits our festival so well? It's the absoluetly ingenius combination of styles that he's come up with. So fresh to these tired ears! Slim Twig is this fun-as-hell rockabilly sound and persona all twisted into a bunch of crazy avant-garde tomfoolery. Think Elvis meets Merzbow. It's big time entertainment that's not scared to fuck things up in your brain. Check out the above video that Dona Arbabzadeh did for his track Birthing and Birthing from the Derelict Dialect EP.
