Title: Big in Japan
Post by: rynne on 19 Dec 2004, 07:19

Has anyone else here—esp. the ones from the Baltimore area—heard these guys?  To clarify, I'm talking about the Lake Trout side project, not the Reno punk band.  I caught them at Ottobar last night and was blown away.  

The best description I can come up with is a jazz trio channeling an electronica act: the standard keyboard/bass/drums line-up is intact (all played live), and the songs are largely improvised, but the result is throbbing dancefloor-filling goodness.  The drummer is incredibly impressive, literally playing d'n'b breakbeats on an acoustic drum set.  Really cool stuff, I've got to see them again.

But I thought it was the punk band.



Curses, Rynne!  You've fooled me for the last time!

Sorry, everyone.  These guys should come up with a more unique name.  :(

Dude... last post was three years ago...

THREE YEARS AGO! What the fuck?

Plus I can't even decipher what the OP was talking about. Is he talking about the band Lake Trout?

Oh shi–   :-D

Three years later, I still haven't seen 'em again.   I just now found that I missed their New Year's gig (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=580536&blogID=342460646) three months ago.

Incidentally, free audio here (http://www.archive.org/details/BigInJapan).

I thought this thread was going to be about Australian Power metal, but whatever.

Oh my god it is so old. This thread is so old what the fuck.
