“Believe it or not, there really are some decent sounds coming out of G-Town, and most of them are coming from future trippy-funktastic reggae all-stars, Trichome. Though their ever expanding universe of jammifications has thus far been limited to a begrudgingly receptive populace, they are prone to hit the scene hard. With a small but adoring fan base that is quickly gaining members, and a first full length album nearing completion, there is little doubt that they will soon be Front Range favorites. The sound is distinctively NoCo.
Evan Daldegan’s lyrics recount experiences and points of view that many local listeners can relate to, and if the content doesn’t get you his slicing soprano will make you a believer. Matt Newhard plays psychedelic-like reggae, letting fly with three-day-bender licks that cut shapeless holes through Evan's meticulous rhythm.
Jefe is at once the torturer of drum heads and the savior of the heady beats. Planted firmly on a plush throne, he keeps the beats regular and the flow right. Schooley conducts the whole screaming neon animal from behind his imposing pile of rhythm; ruthlessly beating all manner of drums into whimpering yet satisfied submission. Rounding out the Rhythm section is Dave, whose style can only be described as Marshall Islanderian, cause that’s where he’s from and since I don’t know anything about that place I can only assume that’s where he learned to play like that. Some crazy mix of funkrocksoulreggaepunkskasupernintendo and just plain ol' indescribable Dave. As of late, Mike has been attending jam sessions, adding a much needed touch funky sax, and his first live appearance was considered a total success.
All of these elements somehow combine to make something very entertaining. Really, who knew a reggae band from Greeley could be so cool? I guess it’s because they took the sounds that they loved and added a touch of something accurately personal that also makes sense to everyone (but really hits home with the Front Range kids). It’s easy to dance to, fun to watch, ruthlessly original and truly good music. All the members share a love for not one kind of music, but for the love and the positive nature of the music itself. One song can convince you that they play with a passion that can only come with a deep desire to stay true to ones own ideals of good tunes. And that’s just what they throw out - good fuckin' tunes."
