“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 reggae on
acid, letting fly with three-day-bender licks that cut shapeless holes
through Evans 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."
