Brooke Trout emerged from the sea with an orange Danelectro, passed down from the first King of the Britains. Big Dave spent years secluded in a cave with no comforts save an amp named Koko and a dead man’s harmonica. Vincent was mutated in a top secret laboratory beneath Alcatraz, escaped, and travels the country destroying drum sets. Together, they are a polyphonic combination of jungle beats, space echos, and phased, driving rhythm, but they are not The Red Herring. The Red Herring is a fish. Brooke Trout - Leader, Guitars, Vocals “Brooke Trout swims into our speakers with a quirky perk that defies categorization. A ska-ish tempo accented by trademark vocal antics. An inimitable singer-composer.” Rob Swick - All Access Magazine Trout has a voice that can squeak and squeal, then comes down low and sultry. As a guitarist she combines phased, driving riffs and sweet melodic lines. On her first record, “Bittersweet”, Brooke Trout was nominated for All Access Magazine’s 2007 Music Award Show for best female guitarist in a rock, melodic blues category, best female guitarist in a pop, alternative category and best songwriter. Big Dave Perea - Harmonica, Vocals, Distortion and a Furious Tambourine “Big Dave rips up the stage, commands the audience, and looks like he’s having the time of his life.” Trisha Hanudel - LA Buzz Blog Big Dave has a mean style, mixing gritty, growly vocals with screaming, fuzzy, echo harmonica. Big Dave has appeared on Brooke Trout’s second album “Networth” and on multiple soundtracks, including “Chronicles of a Love Unfound” by director Michael Peter, as well as live with several of LA’s blues, rock and funk bands. He also dabbles in banjo. Vincent Perea - Drums Vincent draws, plays booming, tom heavy drums, and makes people generally uncomfortable.
