Biography

“With wild songs that gleefully twist rock conventions while maintaining hooks amid the encroaching chaos, Tres Leches recall Pixies' 1987 debut EP, Come On Pilgrim, when they still radiated danger, before their descent into normcore alt-rock-hood. As it happens, Tres Leches—who call their music "dark basement"—had never heard that record, but after I mentioned it in my Slog review of their Upstream set, they now appreciate it.”.. One thing that makes Tres Leches stand out onstage—besides songs that reanimate your moribund passion for rock—is that all three members switch off on guitar, bass, and drums. This versatility keeps things varied and interesting. "It really works, because it's not about any kind of parameters or qualifications to play an instrument, but a genuine interest in hearing what the others have to say, which encourages each of us to input," the band said in an e-mail interview (they answered questions collectively).” Dave Segal
