Austin Townsend

One-time New Zealander living near Bordeaux in France, performing across Europe. Part of the Les Potagers Natures collective. He has worked with French experimental guitarist Thomas Bonvalet, and currently performs with Argentines Cesar and Maurizio Amarate of Radikal Satan. In his own words: "Someone trying to relinquish control and actually give form to what already exists..." Les Potagers Natures: "Austin est un vieux briscard néo-zélandais installé en France qui chante un blues profond et grinçant en s’appuyant sur de curieuses broderies à la guitare acoustique. Il est accompagné à la contrebasse et au banjo par les deux argentins de Radikal Satan qui se sont aussi chargés de l’enregistrement. Un des disques les plus émouvants du catalogue."
