About the Artist

John Maus is a unique figure in contemporary music—a philosopher-musician whose intense and theatrical live performances are as much a display of raw emotional sincerity as they are musical acts. Known for his sweat-drenched, frenzied stage presence where he paces and strikes himself, Maus delivers a potent mix of propelling basslines, mechanical drums, and ethereal synths. His work is a collision of profound emotional weight and deep intellectual engagement, blending minimalist synth-punk with avant-pop, layered by complex themes of spirituality, societal critique, and personal struggle. Maus's journey includes a rigorous academic background, personal tragedies, and a profound spiritual awakening, all of which inform his music's existential and often darkly humorous lens. Tracks like "I Hate Antichrist" and "Cop Killer" exemplify his penchant for confronting societal norms with a bizarro twist, making his concerts almost ritualistic experiences that transpire somewhere between a dance club and a philosophical symposium.
