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!!!
