Garage A Trois was recently described by noted photographer John Margaretten as, "a transformative, punkalectic, pornographic seizure of sight and sound." Few descriptions have ever so precisely encapsulated the modern day post-rock/freak-jazz super group.
A force greater than the sum of its colossal parts, Garage A Trois features Seattle-based saxophonics master Skerik, Brooklyn-based sound-sculptor/keysman Marco Benevento, punk rock vibraphone hero Mike Dillon and New Orleans funky drummer / beat master Stanton Moore.
After the rousing success of the quartet's 2009 release, Power Patriot (also the band's debut with Benevento replacing original member Charlie Hunter), Garage A Trois headed to Studio In The Country in Bogalusa, LA (where masterpieces by The Neville Brothers, Stevie Wonder and The Wild Magnolias have been cut) to record with revered engineer/ producer Randall Dunn (Cave Singers, Black Mountain, Sun City Girls). As has become the band's primary focus in its current incarnation, a laser sharp focus was paid to
capturing Garage A Trois' sinewy, fourth-dimensional, polychromatic instrumental songwriting. The resulting album, Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil, delivers from track to track exactly as its title boasts.
A massive draw in clubs and festivals around the U.S., this latest opus from Garage A Trois will only help fuel the fire for a growing legion of fans amassing around the most dangerous instrumental band on the scene today.
