Musick that Needed Work: T - Tweaker

 

Tweaker was a project formed in the late 90s by Chris Vrenna & Clint Walsh. Vrenna is probably most well known as the drummer for Nine Inch Nails, occasional drummer for Marilyn Manson (filling in for the injured Giner Fish) & most current Manson keyboardist (replacing Madonna Wayne Gacy). Walsh was guitarist for hire for numerous bands: Jack Off Jill; Shudder to Think; The Motels; & many more

.
The album The Attraction to All Things Uncertain was Vrenna's "solo" debut.  Clint Walsh played guitar but was not yet an "official" member of the band. David Sylvain, Wayne Kramer, Buzz Osbourne, Will Oldham, Mark Blasquez, DJ Swamp, & a host of others guested on this first release.

It was with Tweaker's follow-up album, 2 a.m. Wakeup Call, that Clint Walsh became a permanent member to the band. While Vrenna & Walsh again supplied most of the instruments & electronics, Robert Smith, David Sylvian, Daniel Ash, Will Oldham, Johnny Marr appeared as guest musicians & songwriters on this one...
