Pablo St. Chaos is a darkwave/drone/minimalist/noise guitarist and improviser. Beginning early in his youth, he started playing guitar and singing in political punk bands. Constantly traveling across the vast rolling plains and desert valleys of Texas, St. Chaos eventually left punk for minimal drone installations. In 1999, St. Chaos formed the experimental post-rock band, Chaos & the Addiction, which holds an improv philosophy and an ever-changing line-up of over 25 musicians. He has performed solo & with C&theA all over Texas and various other locations in the world. He also releases lo-fi 4-track recordings, regularly.
