and improvisations based on electrical noise.
Van Uden sees his music as pure punk. It embodies the anarchy in Free Jazz,
Modern Composition and Post-Velvet-Rock. Although he is inspired by Coltrane

His carreer started as guitarist in the Chili-Peppers-inspired Mozzarella
Overdose. Unsatisfied with this job he formed Drag Queen

Today van Uden almost works as a solo artist. He is doing homerecordings
and performs whenever he can solo and with 'Tröster' Clemens Drissen
as Tinnitussies, a multi media project, that also involves visual
aspects.
His tenacious guitar-and-noise-box scroichles attach themselves
