Boxcar Satan, a post‑industrial blues trio from San Antonio, Texas, was formed in 1990 by guitarist‑vocalist Sanford Allen and bassist Patrick Sane, both previously of Evil Mothers. Their first full‑length album, Days Before the Flood, appeared in 1999 on Compulsive Records, followed by Crooked Mile March in 2002 on DogFingers Recordings. In 2003, the group released Upstanding and Indigent, adding Cajun and gospel influences, and a 2004 DVD, No One at the Wheel, captured live performances and music videos. The 2007 collaboration with Ghostwriter yielded Hobo Nouveau, while Trouble All Its Own returned to raw blues in 2009. The band toured extensively across the United States, earning critical praise from the Austin Chronicle and the San Antonio Current.
