Trio of Madness ("Lost Time" record release party) w/ special guest: Joe Deninzon & Stratospheerius
Trio Of Madness
From the farthest reaches of space and time, beyond casual music appreciation, a galactic sound known as Trio of
Madness has emerged.
Actually, Trio of Madness has been infiltrating the global music scene for years, enlightening as well as sometimes confusing the minds of music lovers with their strange blend of psychedelic/surf/progressive/space rock.
Trios members bring their own individual style and sound, each having been influenced by a wide variety of disciplines including music (hard rock, classical and world music) surrealism, humor and a touch of the paranormal.Known for their unique grooving time signatures and visual stage effects, the band has made it their mission to give
you a mind-blowing, toe-tapping experience, while at the same time putting a smile on your face.Trio of Madness came into existence one fateful day at a NJ rehearsal studio, when longtime friends, Nick Charles (guitar), Liz Gonzalez (bass/vocals/violin) and Mike Wojik (drums/random noises/vocals) decided to jam on some acoustic instrumental ideas.
Trios Liz recounts, Mike also invited a musician friend down to try out on vocals. Halfway through practice, the vocalist excused himself to use the bathroom, and was never seen again. It was at that moment we realized our fate..this band was meant to be primarily instrumental.
Over the years, the bands sound has grown, transforming into a heavier, more complex, electrified version of themselves. Their upco ming release Lost Time, a nod to either the UFO enigma or the time between Trio albums, also features vocals on a number of tracks, including guest vocals from fellow label mates A Halo Called Freds own Geverend. Recorded and mixed by Anthony Kroposky (A Halo Called Fred/Little Dipper) at Fish On Fire Studios, East Stroudsburg, PA and mastered by Carmen Venderosa of Woodrock Studi os, Raritan, NJ. Lost Times 14 tracks celebrates Trio of Madness musical creativity, and above all, the fun and joy the band feels when writing and performing their own unique blend of original music.
Lost Time will be performed in its entirety at the albums release parties on Saturday, March 18 at Roxy & Dukes Roadhouse 745 Bound Brook Rd, Dunellen, NJ and Sunday, March 19 at John & Peters, 96 S. Main St, New Hope, PA. Lost Time will be available for download at LumpNLoaf Records and online retailers on Tuesday, March 21.
