From the Northwest, the Pacific and the sunset.
Ten plus years of genre-blending music mixed with intoxicating lyrical depth. Trolls Cottage is hypnotically simplistic; music soaked in lyrical contemplations.
Trolls Cottage will pack the house like no other bands have ever been able to, thanks to the warm welcome by friends and family that will come out to support the hometown boys. Trolls Cottage is finally returning to The Red Bicycle after an amazingly long hiatus from performing.
The Trolls Cottage sound has been defined in many ways. Some say it is semi-acoustic rock with conscious lyrics and danceable beats. Others see have seen it different light, such as in 2002, when their live album was voted to the semi-finals of the Grammy Awards, in the Best Reggae Album category. More often than not, Trolls Cottage has been described as unique, having developed a sound that makes the group stand out from the oceans of other bands. They are enjoyed by a wide range of people, especially when performing at outdoor festivals where the crowds are so diverse. The energy this band brings to a performance is exhilarating and most certainly compels the audience to get up and dance.
Self promoted tours and self-released albums have garnered the group serious attention from local and national publications such as a recent big feature in the 35th Anniversary Issue of Powder Magazine. While they have mostly stuck to larger clubs around Seattle and neighboring cities, Trolls Cottage has also completed several West Coast Tours that have included shows in British Columbia, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington and the Hawaiian Islands. Over the years Trolls Cottage has shared the stage with many international acts like Luke Dube, Gregory Isaacs, John Brown’s Body, Culture, Eek A Mouse and Clinton Fearon at local venues and festivals such as Bumbershoot, Folklife and Island Earthfair.|
Trolls Cottage will perform at 9:30pm at the Red Bicycle. This is a 21+ event. Cover charge is $10.
