T.R.A.M. - Tosin Abasi side project

[nojyeloot]

Looked, and didn't find this to be a repost.

Happened across this today. Sounds interesting. Anybody heard anything else?

T.R.A.M. consists of Adrian Terrazas, the aforementioned Mars Volta sax, flute, and bass clarinet player, with Animals As Leaders guitarists Javier Reyes and Tosin Abasi and Suicidal Tendencies drummer Eric Moore.

i just read about them in the sxsw thread. i'm dying to hear some of this...

This sounds pretty awesome. I think Suicidal Tendencies is one of the worst bands ever, but he's certainly not a bad drummer, and Tosin and Javier are monster players.

Sounds cool and interesting! Gonna check out the album when it pops out

 

[nojyeloot]

EDIT: Also, this:

The band’s moniker, in case you haven’t put it together, is an amalgamation of the last initial of each musicians’ name (For the cheap seats: Terrazas, Reyes, Abasi, Moore).

Cool was wondering what happened to this... and looks like the album is called Lingua Franca and will be out in May

Animals as Leaders + Mars Volta + Suicidal Tendencies?

Did someone just divide by zero?

Wasn't familiar with Eric Moore, so I looked him up.

Srsly folks if 1:48 is any indication, my mind will soon be blown

Sweet Jews for Jesus

I love one Suicidal Tendencies album, haven't followed them for several years at this point, but judging from that one video, the guy is an utter fiend. Sick chops and I bet he's got killer pocket as well, they wouldn't have picked someone that couldn't hang on jazz.

Suffice to say I am utterly stoked for this.

 

[SerratedSkies]

I FUCKING LOVE ERIC MOORE! DUDE IS MY HERO!

 

[Vicissitude27]

I remember Tosin telling me about this, and I remember Anthony Green screaming at him us, "it will be the damnedest!"

And if Anthony Green says that. Well, I just can't put words out that explain my excitement.

 

[SerratedSkies]

If ya'll haven't seen the Eric Moore vs Derek Roddy drum battle, I would invest my time into that right now. Really showcases what dude can do behind the kit. Adding Tosin to this is just a mindfuck!

If anyone doesnt know, Lingua Franca is "a language systematically used to make communication possible between people not sharing a mother tongue, in particular when it is a third language"

Sick fucking title, sick fucking musicians, cant wait!

 

[JoeyBTL]

need.
music.
now.

 

[drmosh]

eric moore? oh fucking yes!

AND tosin??? oh my dear pants!

 

[Duelbart]

Even if it's gonna be half as epic as it sounds it will still be twice as epic as anything, apart from AAL2, that I'm expecting this year.

What's this "Mars Volta Side Project" shit. It's got one guy from TMV. He's not even in the band anymore! And not to diss on him or anything, but he wasn't even part of what made them unique.

I think this project will definitely highlight his playing. To be fair, this is an AAL side project, anyways.
