Trolley is a power pop mod combo based out of Milwaukee, WI, that regularly tours the midwest and beyond. They have toured with the likes of New Found Glory and Reel Big Fish and have shared the stage with Dick Dale, Los Straightjackets, Cotton Mather and many like-minded pop-freak outfits. Trolley has played Austin's South By Southwest and Toronto's North By Northeast, as well as Milwaukee's Summerfest and Chicago's International Pop Overthrow. With four cds and one 45 to their credit, Trolley entered Madison's Smart Studios to complete mixdown on their latest cd, "Last Chance Dance", with engineer Mike Zirkel, who has worked with Garbage and The London Suede. Combining all the great influence of sixties pop and mod along with seventies punk and new wave, "Last Chance Dance" is truly a gem for the ages.
Trolley is currently working on their as-yet-untitled third full-length cd with Ryan Weber and Nick Sanborn of Milwaukee's Decibully. With a kitchen-sink production and Trolley's trademark melodies, harmonies and charging guitars, this one's gonna be a BLOWUP!!!
Thank you for adding me...and your kind words. I listened to all of your songs, while watching the Russel Crowe vehicle 'Gladiator'. They did not sync up in any significant way. So, I will continue listening and watching...On a serious note, I really like what you are doing here. Great songs! 'Head Vs Heart' is a stand out. Wishing you the best of everything.
we're very happy to be your friends and we're really excited about our brand new band...members of all reaches of the earth...recording together...we will have our cd done and good to go by early 2010...please come back and enjoy
Thanks for the compliment! The feeling is mutual, both in that I love your stuff and in that I hate everything, too. Please keep me posted if you're ever playing in N.Y.C.
