GARAGE A TROIS

(Redirected from Garage a Trois)

'Garage A Trois' (aka 'GAT') is a band founded by drummer Stanton Moore, eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter, and saxophonist Skerik.
The band spontaneously formed during the 1998 recording of Stanton Moore's debut ''All Kooked Out!'', a session that also yielded Garage A Trois' debut recording ''Mysteryfunk''. Both albums were produced by Dan Prothero on his independent Fog City Records label. They were also both recorded live with no over dubs. This is remarkable as ''Mysteryfunk'' sounds tonally and stylistically similar to heavily edited, sample-based club music. Whereas ''All Kooked Out!'' was rehearsed, "straight-toned" and promoted as the initial release, ''Mysteryfunk'' was mostly improvised with electronically effected instruments and as Moore has stated had "all the freaky stuff."[1]
''Mysteryfunk'' 1999 Fog City

As implied by the name, Garage A Trois was initially a trio but after success as a live act they took on vibraphonist and percussionist Mike Dillon. The quartet have performed multiple tours on the national nightclub circuit and played at several festivals. They are known to perform a wide variety of music in any given show including funk, punk-rock with electronic effects, or straight-forward jazz. [2]
As of 2007 Moore, Skerik and Dillon continue to perform by the Garage A Trois moniker featuring other musicians such as John Medeski and Marco Benevento.[3]
