About Me

WE NOW HAVE OUR DEBUT LP "IN THE KINGDOM OF SOGGY BASEMENTS" ON SALE FOR $10 OR $15 IF YOU BUY IT WITH A T-SHIRT! MESSAGE US FOR DETAILS OR BUY ONLINE!!!! (It's $12.97 through CDbaby because of shipping fees) MUST LOVE TRASH (MLT) is a Washington, DC-based rock band made up of four full-time members: Adam Rosenberg (Lead Guitar/Vocals), Matt Scharf (Rhythm Guitar/Vocals), Michael Strauss (Bass/Vocals) and Chetan Rao (Drums). The band was formed in March 2007 and has gained buzz in DC with their unique sound described as a blend between alternative garage-rock and jam band drawing influences from Talking Heads, Phish, Neil Young, Blind Melon and Cake. MLT has gained notoriety with their energetic live performances and showmanship, priding themselves on never playing songs the same way at each show. Their “anything goes” attitude during live performances where their catchy originals get audiences moving has led to the band being described as “loud and local party rockers” by a local music publication.With so much effort put into producing a solid live performance, it’s no surprise that MLT has consistently filled local venues to capacity in only a short time together. The band has been known to enlist the supporting help of additional local musicians at live performances without warning. Ryan Fogarty (keyboards), Travis Chambers (Drums), Gabe Garcia (percussion), Carl “C-Rat” Easton (freestyle vocals) and Randy Rosenberg (alto flute) have all performed live with MLT."MLT bring an older rock sound..." -OnTap Magazine, February 2008, Music Picks"Must Love Trash does a good job of covering Cake’s cover of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” and the crowd was really into their performance..." -OnTap Magazine, September 2007"At times reminiscent of Phish, MLT demonstrates a fun-loving attitude just perfect for a party or to just cut loose." -OnTap Magazine review of "In the Kingdom of Soggy Basements," August 2008 MyGen Profile Generator
