Influences
Anything with a groove and a melody... All those who bare their soul to the world for their art... random acts of order and ordered acts of randomness... Things that provoke thought...
Sounds Like
Everything from a chorus of Angels to cacophonous noise, maybe a little towards the noise side ;)
Samurai Trout began as a collaboration between Mark Wilmot and Woody Garrison that began in 2003 and currently includes drummer Bill Bokas, bassist Mike Flynn, and guitarist Chip Barnett. We write a lot of original music and enjoy slaughtering other peoples material as well. Samurai Trout feed on the energy found thru improvisation while presenting a varied pallette of well crafted songs. We hope you enjoy!
Marky Check it out dude! Today is the Release date of : VERSAILLES RECORDS’ LICK IT UP -A Millennium Tribute to KISS.

Thanks for adding me! Mark keeps all of our many guitars and basses healthy. I've been promising to catch a show for a while...will get to it soon, hopefully!
Hi, Like the music and Thanks for adding us to your friends list. I am sure you checked out what we are doing for musicians and just wanted to get back with you. Please do your Free Fan Analysis,
Please come out this Wednesday night (May 9th) to Bottletree to see Japanese avant noisemakers, Mono. Just to give you an idea, Godspeed You Black Emperor are huge fans of this band. Their live shows are careening in fields of volume and agonized sound that thunders against club walls and human skulls. This may sound obvious, but it is always a bit extra of a stretch to bring a band from Japan over to the Alabama, and your support helps us pay for the extra expense that is figured into bands' cost of making the over seas journey. Basically, we will love you forever if you come out to what will surely prove to be one of the finest mid-week mindbenders of this century. Thank you graciously for your support and enthusiasm
HERE IS MONO'S BIO INFO:
Throughout their six-year career, MONO has ascended consistently in both popularity and critical acclaim, with record sales and live show attendance corresponding. But still elusive to the Japanese quartet has been the successful translation of their powerful and violently beautiful live performances to their recordings. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus has remained that their transcendent live show is simply incomparable.
If there is any chance of breaking that spell, it lies in You Are There, without a doubt the prime contender to unite the live and recorded worlds of MONO. Once again captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, the album extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die.
If Walking Cloud was a nuclear winter, then You Are There is the post-war rebirth; steeped in an ominous creation-via-destruction atmosphere not heard since Neurosis' landmark Enemy of the Su
