When Bob Log III was a child, he lost his left hand in a boating accident. It was soon replaced with a monkey paw, and a new guitar style was born.
“It’s my own personal style, see,” Log says, “the paw moves much quicker than a normal hand, so my real hand has to flop around a lot to compensate.”
And what about the helmet?
“What helmet?” he asks, his voice muffled by a helmet.
Bob Log III is an enigma wrapped in a riddle and riding a wave of futile guessing and searching as people around the globe are trying to figure out just one thing. Who is this man? Rumours have started to circulate that he is anyone from Tom Waits to one of the Strokes.
“He’s Bob Log, an enigma.” a spokesperson told NME. “He’s not one of The Strokes. None of them have monkey paws.”
If that doesn’t intrigue you, we don’t know what will.

More about Strange Vine:
Strange Vine’s earthy, energetic music is a fusion of blues, psychedelic, and traditional American rock. It’s a sound born of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, from two men who were raised there. Ian Blesse plays drums and Rhodes piano (simultaneously), while Toby Cordova fleshes out the songs with a rotating arsenal of guitars (including one made from a cigar box). Both contribute vocals toward a rich, layered sound that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Strange Vine has shared the stage with acts like Cage The Elephant, Band Of Skulls, Los Lobos, The Growlers, Delta Spirit, Lord Huron, B.B. King, Robin Trower, Kurt Vile, The Record Company, FUZZ, White Denim, Pokey LaFarge, Meat Puppets, Reignwolf, The Bones Of JR Jones, Dead Meadow…….
