THE SF BAY AREA'S

Punkadelic Power Trio

Continuing the long tradition of bad-ass music originating from the Bay Area. The Dead Kennedy's, Metallica, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Primus, American Music Club, Third Eye Blind, Red House Painters, Green Day, and so many more.

Fast, Hard and a little psychedelic.

Continuing the long tradition of bad-ass music originating from the Bay Area.

the eccentric musicianship and absorbing weirdness of groups like Primus, Faith No More and Fishbone.

The band thrives off monstrous bass lines, technical and tight drumbeats, unconventional guitar wizardry, and a spark of energy that puts younger groups to shame.

seamlessly crossing genres, divergently different, yet somehow harmonious . . . a mad cross section of Primus, King Crimson, Rush and Oingo Boingo. Hard, fast and dizzyingly technical.

While possible to pinpoint influence from bands like Primus or Mr. Bungle, the band is uniquely their own and flawlessly crosses boundaries

THE PUNKADELIC POWER TRIO FROM SAN FRANCISCO

TREZ MASCHINE

Earthquakes, surfboards, gold, and technology aren't the only things that San Francisco is known for. Dead Kennedy's, Metallica, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Primus, American Music Club, Third Eye Blind, Red House Painters and Green Day have all dominated our sound waves . . . Trez Maschine is the natural progression of their local influences, fast and furious, yet strange and psychedelic.

The members of Trez Maschine have been players in the Bay Area's scene for the last 25 years. Gorden Mack (Guitar) in the 'sadcore' scene while Brian Kenney (Bass) and Kyle Malone (Drums) were pounding it out in the San Jose / Santa Cruz punk scene.

Gorden first gained eminence with the acclaimed “sadcore” band, Red House Painters, releasing four albums on 4AD Records, touring and getting on a few major movie soundtracks. It was here that he pioneered his brand of “guitar-scaping”, a rich blend of melodic dexterity and multi-layered sounds. Recently he presided over the San Francisco Rock Music Association (SFRMA) being a lead musician in live re-productions of famous albums by such bands as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Portishead, The Smiths and Yes, establishing himself as one of the bay areas premier guitar players.

. . . and comes along Brian Kenney (Bass) trying to find a 6 stringer that can keep up with his four. A jaw-dropping bassist clearly influenced by our local hero Les Claypool with more role models such as Bootsy Collins, John Entwistle, and Geddy Lee. Joined by self-described “mountain man”, Kyle Malone on Drums whose influences include Tool, Oingo Boingo, and Metallica. Kenney and Malone played for a succession of bands, toured the country and on the San Jose / Santa Cruz punk scene, sharing the stage with NOFX, Reverend Horton Heat, and Suicidal Tendencies. As one fan put it, it's like Trez has "three lead players who can go full tilt at any time".

The end result is fast as punk, hard as metal and psychedelically twisted.
