Garage A Trois - Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil
On April 12, Garage A Trois will release Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil via Royal Potato Family. Aptly described by photographer John Margaretten as “a transformative, punkalectic, pornographic seizure of sight and sound,” the modern day post rock/freak jazz supergroup will support the album with west and east coast tour dates in April and May. Garage A Trois, a force greater than the sum of its colossal parts, is comprised of Seattle-based saxophonics master Skerik, Brooklyn sound-sculptor/keysman Marco Benevento, Texas-born punk rock vibraphone hero Mike Dillon and New Orleans funky drummer/beat scientist Stanton Moore.

It’s sure to fuel the fire for a growing legion of fans amassing around the most dangerous instrumental band on the scene today. Continue reading
