Kilgore Trout Is Dead @ Public Assembly (Northside Fest)

Kilgore Trout Is Dead has quickly become my favorite of all the Staten Island bands. It may not be fair to the other bands who I really like a lot, but it's the honest truth and it has nothing to do with the fact that I've known the brains behind Kilgore Trout Is Dead for at least 10-years. No, Ezra Donellan just makes impressive music that sounds great and wows me everytime I see it live. With looped, live samples, and White Velvet (Rory Merola) on percussion Kilgore Trout Is Dead has become the live band to see on Staten Island. The only problem is there's no Kilgore to take home with you as Ezra and Rory are working on finishing the debut from Kilgore Trout Is Dead right now. Until then check the band's MySpace to check them out live and know that if you missed them Friday night you missed a heck of a show!
