The sign on the club door says “rock’n’roll tonight” and if you don’t like it, come back tomorrow for country night, right? Wrong. Who says a modern day rock’n’roll band can’t sound like tomorrow’s country music or that an indie pop band can’t swing? Who says a trio from Germany can’t play Americana?
The TriSonics actually thrive on crossing genre borders. Listen to their second album “Welcome to the Club” and you’ll find Rockabilly (“These Walls”), Country (the title track), Swing (“Should’ve Known Better”), and even a homage to Britpop (“Lyla”) as well as a cover of a Blondie hit (“Call Me”) from 1980. You can also hear a real smoocher (“I Believe in Love”), a bombastic bit of jungle music (“Ooh I Like That Voodoo”), a track that opens with the sound of a shovel hitting dirt (“Digging a Hole”), a ballad (“In My Arms”) as well as a song with a grand gypsy finale. And the final track manages to pull all these elements into one song.
The TriSonics teamed up with producer Michael Heilrath (Couch) and some of the best musicians in Munich to put a record together that’s as multi-flavored as the show schedule at your favourite local live dive and still keeps it all together. The only thing that’s missing is the guy selling beer and a wc. So, welcome to the club!
Watch out our first album on cdbaby.com, "Rock'n'Roll Remedy".

I do love this band
author: Billybop.be
Well I'm not going to make a secret out of it! I do love the Tri-Sonics. Actually I do like them a lot. Sure I dig female Bass-players and I admit that this could influence my objectivity but I've never seen this band live, nor did I meet some of the members! So my judgement comes only from what I hear.
On Welcome to the Club, the band once more explores the boundaries of the genre by including a rocking" version of the Blondie tune "Call Me" and an excellent version of the Oasis Tune "Lyla" (one that beats the original if you ask me). But there is much more to the Tri-Sonics then covering tunes. The band does not only know how to transform and adapt music they also know how to write & play. "Ooh I Like that voodoo" (with an unmistakeably King Kurt approach) or the swinging "Should have known better" proves that the band knows how to perform. On "Digging a hole" the band works out a sweaty country feeling that's quite appealing. On can feel the heat, imagine the sweat and experience the dirt that comes with shovelling. Solitude a Derek Singleton original is a very good tune! The music sound very comfortable and is because the many different influences something that one thinks to have heard before. A Spanish sway along with a tango intermezzo are here to bring you in feel good mood! Add to that some Eastern Europe gipsy influences and you have something quite refreshing. Not only does it sound good, it also proves that the band know how to write arrangements!
Closing tune "Hanging On Too Long" takes us back to big band territory! In a notoriously jazzy style, the Tri-Sonics close their album.
"I'm hanging on too long", sings Derek Singleton, something I can't agree on. With only 40 minutes of music, there is no way this band is hanging on to long and another spin of this or their previous album is exceedingly recommended. Welcome to the club is a nice follow up to their debut album Rock 'n' Roll Remedy. With a down to earth approach The Tri Sonics succeed once more in their mission to entertain through music! Without putting on blinkers this band opens up possibilities for new and old songs far beyond the usual fishing well and transform them in something totally new that is at times hard to recognise! An ability that surely must be nourished!

Ein gelungenes Ganzes
author: In München
Wer in München auf Rockabilly und stilechten Rock'n'Roll steht, der dürfte schon öfters mal auf den Gitarristen, Sänger und Komponist Derek Singleton und seine TriSonics (feat. Barbara Streidl am Kontrabass und Drummer Dim Sclichter) gestoßen sein. Jetzt haben die drei ihren Soundkosmos um die Spielarten (Brit-)Pop, Country und Swing erweitert, was das gelungene Ganze auf für nicht Rock'n'Roller interessant macht.

Das soll denen erst mal einer nachmachen
author: Intro
::: Wenn man es damit ernst meint, sich an Vorbilder wie Elvis Presley oder Johnny Cash heranzuwagen, muss man eigentlich ein bisschen mehr bringen, als nur die immer gleiche Frisur zu tragen, sich Teddy zu nennen und ab und zu mal einen Milchshake anstelle des Flaschenbiers zu trinken. Das Münchner Trio The TriSonics zum Beispiel legt da schon mal ganz schön einen vor: Im Gefängnis Stadelheim haben sie ein Konzert gespielt und dort 'Jailhouse Rock' gecovert. So. Das soll denen erstmal eine von den vielen austauschbaren Rockabilly-Bands nachmachen, dann reden wir weiter. Übrigens ist die Musik der drei auch origineller und anspruchsvoller, als so manches der Zunft. Immer mal wieder eine Ballade eingestreut oder auch mal einen anderen Rhythmus gespielt, als den immer gleichen Country-Backbeat. ‘Welcome To The Club’ (Raucous Records) sticht angenehm heraus.

Willkommen im Club der Rock'n'Roller
author: Abendzeitung München
Erst vor kurzem sorgten The Trisonics mit einem ungewöhnlichen Auftritt in München für Aufsehen. Das Rock'n'-Roll-Trio gastierte für ein Konzert in Stadelheim und begeisterten die Insassen (AZ berichtete). Zu hören bekamen die Gefangenen natürlich nicht nur den "Jailhouse Rock", sondern auch Material des brandneuen Albums "Welcome To The Club", das zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch gar nicht veröffentlicht war.
Jetzt ist es endlich da und wird das Herz eines jeden Rock'n'-Roll-Freundes höher schlagen lassen. Denn Bassistin Barbara Streidl, Sänger und Gitarrist Derek Singleton und Schlagzeuger Dim Schlichter ist ein wirklich abwechslungsreiches Album gelungen. Das rasante "Should've Known Better" erinnert an die Stray Cats und wird durch knackige Breaks und Bläser aufgepeppt.
Bei "Digging A Hole" packt Singleton die Surf-Gitarre aus, und "Ooh, I Like That Voodoo" klingt genau so, wie es der Titel verspricht. Mit "In My Arms" und "I Believe In Love" enthält das Album zudem zwei wundervolle Balladen.
