Cactus Truck are the project of John Dikeman, the American saxoponist residing in Amsterdam, and one of the key figures on its improvising scene. Born in Nebraska, USA, he studied w/the legends Milford Graves, Joe Maneri, and Jack Wright in Wyoming, Colorado and NYC (where he shared stages w/Daniel Carter, Nate Wooley, Ava Mendoza, etc. For 3 years Dikeman lived in Egypt, performing as a soloist w/the Cairo Symphony Orchestra, and local and visiting musicians and DJs. John played at Egyptian weddings and toured the African continent w/the pop star Mohamed Mounir.
Cactus Truck creates startlingly intense music, not merely in terms of volume or velocity but through completephysical/psychological surrender. One can find hints of delta blues, early free jazz, Japanese noise, and no wave in the music. They have also collaborated with Terrie Ex, Ab Baars, Han Bennink, Jeb Bishop, Jon Rune Strøm, and others.
Cactus Truck have a brand new release on the NOT TWO label, entitled Seizures Palace (2014).
