The Life Force Trio

About Me

The Life Force Trio is an experimental Soul band that plays a variety of cosmic vibrancy. Mostly-instrumental and always ready to take you higher, The Life Force Trio is led by Los Angeles-based producer Carlos Nino (Aquarius) and multi-instrumentalist/ composer Dexter Story (Aquarius.) Along for the great celestial journey are Miguel Atwood-Ferguson (Taurus,) Gaby Hernandez (Cancer,) and Andres Renteria (Leo.) Self-described as a "love-in" band, The Life Force Trio play sets "like a raw living room version of Alice Coltrane, Weather Report and Pink Floyd." The group fuses space-rock and impressionistic 20th century classical music with funk grooves and occasional sing along vocals to channel a beautiful energy that soothes and moves.Celebrated for being genre benders, misplaced in any one category, The Life Force Trio have released two records in the last two years. 2005's Dwight Trible & The Life Force Trio Love Is The Answer (Ninja Tune) and2006's The Life Force Trio Living Room (Plug Research) are both very highly regarded projects that have garned the group much musical love and critical acclaim.Pitchfork Review http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/38084-li ving-roomCurrently The Life Force Trio are working on their latest full-length Aquarius. In addition to lot's of heart-felt experimentation, classic composition and soulful improvisation, Aquarius features collaborations with special Aquarian friends, producer DNTEL and harpist Rebekah Raff. A new 45 called Alice! (In-stores Tuesday, July 31, 2007 on Plug Research) has a B-Side sneak peak at Aquarius called A Dream Of Los Angeles With Clear Blue Skies. We hope you love it!Carlos Nino http://www.trsrhnt.com/carlosnino http://www.spacewaysradio.com
