The Trailer Trash Orchestra[Country-Trash, 6 piece]
 Made up of members of The Sindys, The Astronauts, Redmaxx and Los Chicos Muertos, The Trailer Trash orchestra is something of a Trashville super-group. The band came together through a shared love of Country-Noir and Trash Rock 'n' Roll, and their sound pretty much reflects this - like Johnny Cash meeting the Ramones at a party thrown by Gram Parsons who's got The Pogues and Ween in as house bands.
Within a year of getting together the band were playing storming sets at small festivals, and this led to a prestigious booking at Glastonbury Festival's infamous Lost Vagueness stage. 2006 has seen them play storming sets at Truck Festival and many smaller festivals, release their "Live at The Garage" mini-album and continue work on a new studio album along with recording new tracks with Knox (The Vibrators) for forthcoming release.
The luxuriant blend of fuzzed up guitars, voodoo-swamp drumming and plaintive lap-steel, fiddle and mandolin make for an intoxicating, addictive and original sound that instills spine tingling delirium whether blasted from a festival stage or in a small sweaty club. Caustic self penned numbers are augmented by distinctly off kilter interpretations of country, trash and alt-rock gems whilst hats, tats and low-slung attitude leap from stack to stack in frenzied ecstasy!

 like a box o'chocolates The White Lion, St Albans on Tue 25th Sep 07 | |
   .. you never know what y'gonna get when Trailer Trash Orchestra perform their infamous treats - persons of exquisitely bad taste join and leave the stage in a three-four jamboree, maybe orchestrated by Grae J Wall but conceivably choreographed or programmed by shadier hands... fans of Country music will be appalled to hear some of their favourites rendered down to gristle and then rebuilt with a cheeky sneer and a gas torch, but the casual joy, skill and fervour with which the Orchestra - some of the sturdiest young musicians around - follow the link to their page to see which bands spawned them - reveal the trash inside leaves an audience with a silly pleasured grin. (STILL no fifty bucks though). Like Sha-Na-Na did in rock'n'roll, every member reminds you of someone famous in Country, but you just can't remember who. Or, was it in Punk? Garage? Truly special. You want to wash your hands after seeing a band like this. | |

 The Christian Life. The White Lion, St Albans on Tue 19th Sep 06 | |
If The Byrds had carried on on the same downhill track after Sweetheart of the Rodeo - the one where the real-life dissolute but godlike Gram Parsons mocks the Lord (who shortly got the last laugh in that annoyingly final-laugh way) - they might have ended up called Trailer Trash Orchestra or The Sindys and played trash-lounge. With Finns. From Anglo-German Low Stars. At The White Lion last Tuesday. It's a big if, though.
Trailer Trash Orchestra combine late punk, Pogues, Byrds before anyone said country-rock, and hoochie-coochie, in a musical bang-bus. You can take them on as Western, Country, Alt-Country, pre-Rock, post-Rock, any number of things, but the baseline is lo-fi and Trash. Every performance is an event, every event is different; but every kind of music they take on board ends up at the side of the road with a bemused look on its face and no fifty bucks. | |
