Venice Gashouse Trolley

Venice Gas House Trolley (Madison, WI) grooves body and mind creating a unique and organic live music experience. VGHT’s original jam-based songs and poems transport audiences on a creatively wild and transformational journey through darkness and into the light. Spoken of by fans as “A Cerebral Groove” and “Sacred Existential Fusion Rock,” VGHT brings a sense of passion and performance to every live show.

Praised by the media and fans alike for their new approach to words and intense yet chilled psychedelic jam, the Trolley has emerged as originators of their own genre. The band has held the position as the #1 Jam Band in Madison, WI on ReverbNation since May of 2011 and was recently voted as one of the top 3 experimental music groups in Madison’s Isthmus Newspaper’s “Reader’s Favorites” poll.

Venice Gas House Trolley features Flowpoetry, a finalist for the MNSWA “Urban Griot” International/National Performer of the Year and a three-time Madison Area Music Awards finalist. VGHT encapsulates the dirty 1960s rock of Jefferson Airplane, the slinky but aggressive and funky grooves of Claypool, the eccentric and experimental sounds of Zappa, the eclectic jam and fun attitude of Phish, the rockin’ hip-hop and reggae beats of 311, and the flowin’ words of Tom Waits. Through this creative mix, the band has released three full length domestic CDs and has placed tracks on British compilations.

Half-JOKESingly, Guzzo Pinc and Pat Stillman dig the likes of Soul Coughing, Beck, Femmes, Pixies. Their debut album UNO will be available.

This event is a little more sonically challenging than most held here. Earplugs advised.
