TRUCKASAURAS - TEA PARTIES, GUNS N VALOR
TRUCKASAURAS (FOURTHCITY) Fueled by an inhuman amount of Maker’s Mark and whatever kind of beer they can get their hands on, a bunch of self-proclaimed gear nerds have accumulated more firepower than Donald Trump. Armed with an arsenal of vintage Roland drum machines and synths, all sequenced by a modded first-gen Gameboy, Truckasauras create analog electro loops that skitter over starkly minimal drums; a sound (is it techno? is it hip-hop?) that straddles the chasm between goofiness and sincerity, and does so with aplomb. Citing influences ranging from Aphex Twin to 2 Live Crew, it’s next to impossible to pigeonhole the group into any one genre. The Truck’s debut album, Tea Parties, Guns and Valor boasts 9 original tracks, a cover of the theme from “Airwolf,” and an array of remixes by some of the Northwest’s biggest names in electronic. http://www.fourthcity.net/releases/FCT024.html http://www.truckasauras.com http://www.myspace.com/teapartiesgunsnvalor

    I love Truck. Definitely one of the most original and entertaining bands to come from the Northwest in a minute.
