Oakland's Hawnay Troof has quite an impressive musical resume. He's handled lead vocals for xbxrx for quite some time now (as Vice Cooler), he mixed his most recent record Islands of Ayle in 2 days with Greg Saunier of Deerhoof, Peaches calls him "the world's greatest performer", he's friends with Drew Daniel of Matmos, he drummed in the Boredoms 88 Boadrum project, he's been a live drummer for both The Raincoats and Chicks on Speed, and apparently, Henry Rollins cites him as "an inspiration".
As you can see, the powers that be have spoken and declared Hawnay Troof the greatest thing since sliced bread and nutella, although many others still think he's just a twat with a microphone. We agree with the former.
