Truckasauras
Biography
Fueled by an inhuman amount of Maker’s Mark and whatever kind of beer they can get their hands on, a bunch of self-proclaimed gear nerds have accumulated more firepower than Donald Trump. Armed with an arsenal of analog artillery, Truckasauras create electro loops that skitter over starkly minimal drums; a sound (is it techno? is it hip-hop?) that straddles the chasm between goofiness and sincerity, and does so with aplomb. The true Truck experience is through their live sets.

WHAT THE TRUCK?
If you haven't seen Truckasauras, where the hell have you been? Obviously not in Seattle because these guys have been bangin' out hot sweaty feverish nights of dance mania from the Capitol Hill Block Party to a dilapidated warehouse. So get yer yokel gear on, grab that red, white, and blue trucker hat, pour yourself a double of Maker's Mark and GET DOWN with America's #1 Electro Truck-Hop band!
God I love you guys.
