History

Garage A Trois was originally a trio founded by Moore, eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter, and Skerik. Charlie Hunter (born May 23 1967 is an American Guitarist Composer and bandleader It formed during the 1998 recording of Stanton Moore's debut All Kooked Out!, a session that also yielded Garage A Trois' debut recording Mysteryfunk. Stanton Moore is a New Orleans style drummer raised in Metairie Louisiana All Kooked Out! is the first studio album by New Orleans Louisiana based drummer Stanton Moore. Both albums were produced by Dan Prothero on his independent Fog City Records label. Dan Prothero is a San Francisco-based independent Record producer, Recording engineer, and record collector Fog City Records is an independent Record label based in San Francisco. They were also both recorded "live with no over dubs". [1] This is remarkable as Mysteryfunk sounds tonally and stylistically similar to heavily edited, sample-based club music. Whereas All Kooked Out! was rehearsed, "straight-toned" and promoted as the initial release, Mysteryfunk was mostly improvised with electronically effected instruments and as Moore has stated had "all the freaky stuff. "[2]

They were known to perform a wide variety of music in any given show including funk, punk-rock with electronic effects, or straight-forward jazz. [3] Also as a quartet they released two composed studio albums in 2003 and 2005 abandoning the "live with no overdubs" recording ethos.

In 2007 Moore, Skerik and Dillon continued to perform by the Garage A Trois moniker featuring other musicians such as John Medeski and Marco Benevento. Anthony John Medeski (born 28 June 1965) is an American Jazz keyboards player and Composer.

On December 20th 2007, the band (with Benevento) played a pre-recording show at DBA in New Orleans. They announced that recording for a new Garage A Trois album was to begin the next morning.
