Reviews:
"I don't mean to frighten you, but voodoo is alive and well and thriving in Seattle—and it goes by the name of Trombone Cake. How else can you explain the urban-bayou-folk-rock-boogie-woogie madness cooked up by these crazy cats? Led by the twisted genius of singer/guitarist Eric Richards and anchored by the legendary percussive skills of one Mike Stone, these under-the-radar scene veterans have been slowly and steadily concocting an insanely rocking, funky, lethal brew's worth of influences and inspirations. Part head-ripping musical moonshine and part mind-tripping auditory absinthe, it'll fuck you up and have you coming back for more every time. Beware."
Barbara Mitchell, The Stranger (07/2008)
Rundown:
Trombone Cake tracks are cut live most often with little, if any rehearsal.
In the studio (after brief conversations about riffs, arrangements and some technical blither-blather) Mike Stone, Eric Richards, Erin McBride and Jeremy Lightfoot plug in, find the groove and lay down their boogie-muscle with a fury and force equal to that of a man-sized plate of mexican food.
Free form verbal riffs are shipped from Los Angeles, typically written with the author (GDC) never hearing a single note of the music prior... creating a unique, yet eerily seemless, lyrical dynamic.
Other tones both strange and exotic are overdubbed by auxiliary musicians Danny Frankel, Lori Goldston, Ted Quinn and Ralph Carney.
